Description

Instantiations of triangle_distribution model a random distribution . A triangle_distribution has three parameters, a, b, and c, which are the smallest, the most probable and the largest values of the distribution respectively.

triangle_distribution public construct/copy/destruct

  1. triangle_distribution(result_type a_arg = result_type(0), 
                          result_type b_arg = result_type(0.5), 
                          result_type c_arg = result_type(1));

    Constructs a triangle_distribution with the parameters a, b, and c.

    Preconditions: a <= b <= c.

triangle_distribution public member functions

  1. result_type a() const;

    Returns the a parameter of the distribution

  2. result_type b() const;

    Returns the b parameter of the distribution

  3. result_type c() const;

    Returns the c parameter of the distribution

  4. void reset();
  5. template<typename Engine> result_type operator()(Engine & eng);
