linear_congruential_engine is a random number engine based on Linear congruential generator (LCG). A LCG has a state that consists of a single integer.
The transition algorithm of the LCG function is x
i+1 ← (ax
i+c) mod m.
The following typedefs define the random number engine with two commonly used parameter sets:

minstd_rand0(C++11) | std::linear_congruential_engine<std::uint_fast32_t, 16807, 0, 2147483647>Discovered in 1969 by Lewis, Goodman and Miller, adopted as "Minimal standard" in 1988 by Park and Miller. |
minstd_rand(C++11) | std::linear_congruential_engine<std::uint_fast32_t, 48271, 0, 2147483647>Newer "Minimum standard", recommended by Park, Miller, and Stockmeyer in 1993. |
Member types
| Member type | Definition |
|---|---|
result_type | The integral type generated by the engine. Results are undefined if this is not an unsigned integral type. |
Member functions
Construction and Seeding |
|
| constructs the engine (public member function) |
|
| sets the current state of the engine (public member function) |
|
Generation |
|
| advances the engine's state and returns the generated value (public member function) |
|
| advances the engine's state by a specified amount (public member function) |
|
Characteristics |
|
|
[static] | gets the smallest possible value in the output range (public static member function) |
|
[static] | gets the largest possible value in the output range (public static member function) |
Non-member functions
| compares the internal states of two pseudo-random number engines (function template) |
|
| performs stream input and output on pseudo-random number engine (function template) |
Member objects
| constexpr UIntType multiplier
[static] | the multiplier term (a). (public static member constant) |
| constexpr UIntType increment
[static] | the increment term (c). (public static member constant) |
| constexpr UIntType modulus
[static] | the modulus term (m). (public static member constant) |
| constexpr UIntType default_seed
[static] | the default seed (1). (public static member constant) |
