public static member function
<random>

std::discard_block_engine::min

static constexpr result_type min();
Minimum value
Returns the minimum value potentially returned by member operator(), which is the same as its base engine's minimum value.

Parameters

none

Return value

base().min()
result_type is a member type, defined as an alias of the type of the numbers generated by the base engine.

// discard_block_engine::min and max
#include <iostream>
#include <chrono>
#include <random>

int main ()
{
  unsigned seed = std::chrono::system_clock::now().time_since_epoch().count();

  // ranlux24 is a standard instantitation of discard_block_engine:
  std::ranlux24 generator (seed);

  std::cout << generator() << " is a random number between ";
  std::cout << generator.min() << " and " << generator.max();

  return 0;
}


Possible output:
471250 is a random number between 0 and 16777215

Complexity

None (compile-time constant).
