Description

param_type public member functions

  1. param_type(const RealType & alpha = 1.0, const RealType & beta = 1.0);

    Constructs a param_type object from the "alpha" and "beta" parameters.

    Requires: alpha > 0 && beta > 0

  2. RealType alpha() const;

    Returns the "alpha" parameter of the distribution.

  3. RealType beta() const;

    Returns the "beta" parameter of the distribution.

param_type friend functions

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

    Reads the parameters from a std::istream.

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

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

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

    Returns true if the two sets fo parameters are different.
