public static member function
<random>

std::independent_bits_engine::max

static constexpr result_type max();
Maximum value
Returns the maximum value potentially returned by member operator(), which for independent_bits_engine is 2w-1, where w is the second class template parameter (the number of significant bits per generated number).

Parameters

none

Return value

2w-1
result_type is a member type, defined as an alias of the type of the numbers generated by the base engine.

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

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

  std::independent_bits_engine<std::mt19937,64,std::uint_fast64_t> generator (seed);

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

  return 0;
}


Possible output:
4629903696969630447 is a random number between 0 and 18446744073709551615

Complexity

None (compile-time constant).
