#
A uniform_int_distribution random number distribution produces random integers i, a  ≤ i  ≤ b, distributed according to the constant discrete probability function

#
Preconditions: a  ≤ b.

#
Remarks: a and b correspond to the respective parameters of the distribution.
🔗
result_type a() const;
4
#
Returns: The value of the a parameter with which the object was constructed.
🔗
result_type b() const;
5
#
Returns: The value of the b parameter with which the object was constructed.
