mersenne_twister_engine is a random number engine based on Mersenne Twister algorithm. It produces high quality unsigned integer random numbers of type UIntType on the interval [0, 2w
-1].

The following type aliases define the random number engine with two commonly used parameter sets:

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
