std::normal_distribution<RealType>::normal_distribution – std::normal_distribution<RealType>::normal_distribution

Synopsis

normal_distribution()
    : normal_distribution(0.0){}(1)(since C++ 11)

          explicit normal_distribution(RealType mean, RealType stddev = 1.0);
(2)(since C++ 11)

    explicit normal_distribution(const param_type &params);
(3)(since C++ 11)

Constructs a new distribution object. (2) uses mean and stddev as the distribution parameters. (3) uses params as the distribution parameters.

Parameters

mean – the μ distribution parameter (mean)
stddev – the σ distribution parameter (standard deviation)
params – the distribution parameter set
