28.5.9.3.2 Class template binomial_distribution [rand.dist.bern.bin]

A binomial_distribution random number distribution produces integer values i  ≥ 0 distributed according to the discrete probability function
namespace std { template<class IntType = int> class binomial_distribution { public: // types using result_type = IntType; using param_type = unspecified; // constructors and reset functions binomial_distribution() : binomial_distribution(1) {} explicit binomial_distribution(IntType t, double p = 0.5); explicit binomial_distribution(const param_type& parm); void reset(); // equality operators friend bool operator==(const binomial_distribution& x, const binomial_distribution& y); // generating functions template<class URBG> result_type operator()(URBG& g); template<class URBG> result_type operator()(URBG& g, const param_type& parm); // property functions IntType t() const; double p() const; param_type param() const; void param(const param_type& parm); result_type min() const; result_type max() const; // inserters and extractors template<class charT, class traits> friend basic_ostream<charT, traits>& operator<<(basic_ostream<charT, traits>& os, const binomial_distribution& x); template<class charT, class traits> friend basic_istream<charT, traits>& operator>>(basic_istream<charT, traits>& is, binomial_distribution& x); }; }
explicit binomial_distribution(IntType t, double p = 0.5);
Preconditions: 0  ≤ p  ≤ 1 and 0  ≤ t.
Remarks: t and p correspond to the respective parameters of the distribution.
IntType t() const;
Returns: The value of the t parameter with which the object was constructed.
double p() const;
Returns: The value of the p parameter with which the object was constructed.
