linear_congruential_engine Class
Generates a random sequence by the linear congruential algorithm.
template<class UIntType,
UIntType A, UIntType C, UIntType M>
class linear_congruential_engine {
public:
typedef UIntType result_type;
static const UIntType multiplier = A;
static const UIntType increment = C;
static const UIntType modulus = M;
static const UIntType default_seed = 1U;

};
Parameters
UIntType
The unsigned integer result type.A
The A engine parameter.C
The C engine parameter.M
The M engine parameter.
Remarks
The template class describes a <random> that produces values of a user-specified unsigned integral type using the recurrence relationrecurrence relation x(i) = (A * x(i-1) + C) mod M. The engine's state is the last value returned, or the seed value if no call has been made to operator().
The template argument UIntType must be large enough to hold values up to M - 1. The values of the template arguments A and C must be less than M.
