Description

param_type public construct/copy/destruct

  1. param_type();

    Constructs a param_type object, representing a distribution with and .

  2. template<typename Iter> param_type(Iter first, Iter last);

    If first == last, equivalent to the default constructor. Otherwise, the values of the range represent weights for the possible values of the distribution.

  3. param_type(const std::initializer_list< WeightType > & wl);

    If wl.size() == 0, equivalent to the default constructor. Otherwise, the values of the initializer_list represent weights for the possible values of the distribution.

  4. template<typename Range> explicit param_type(const Range & range);

    If the range is empty, equivalent to the default constructor. Otherwise, the elements of the range represent weights for the possible values of the distribution.

  5. template<typename Func> 
      param_type(std::size_t nw, double xmin, double xmax, Func fw);

    If nw is zero, equivalent to the default constructor. Otherwise, the range of the distribution is [0, nw), and the weights are found by calling fw with values evenly distributed between and , where .

param_type public member functions

  1. std::vector< WeightType > probabilities() const;

    Returns a vector containing the probabilities of each possible value of the distribution.

param_type friend functions

  1. template<typename CharT, typename Traits> 
      friend std::basic_ostream< CharT, Traits > & 
      operator<<(std::basic_ostream< CharT, Traits > & os, 
                 const param_type & param);

    Writes the parameters to a std::ostream.

  2. template<typename CharT, typename Traits> 
      friend std::basic_istream< CharT, Traits > & 
      operator>>(std::basic_istream< CharT, Traits > & is, 
                 const param_type & param);

    Reads the parameters from a std::istream.

  3. friend bool operator==(const param_type & lhs, const param_type & rhs);

    Returns true if the two sets of parameters are the same.

  4. friend bool operator!=(const param_type & lhs, const param_type & rhs);

    Returns true if the two sets of parameters are different.
