Function random

boost::unit_test::data::random — Returns an infinite sequence of random numbers.

Synopsis

// In header: <boost/test/data/monomorphic/generators/random.hpp>


monomorphic::generated_by< monomorphic::random_t<> > random();
template<typename SampleType> 
  monomorphic::generated_by< monomorphic::random_t< SampleType > > 
  random(SampleType begin, SampleType end);
template<typename Params> unspecified random(Params const & params);

Description

The following overloads are available:

auto d = random();
auto d = random(begin, end);
auto d = random(params);

The first overload uses the default distribution, which is uniform and which elements are double type (the values are in [0, 1) ).
The second overload generates numbers in the given interval. The distribution is uniform (in [begin, end) for real numbers, and in [begin, end] for integers). The type of the distribution is deduced from the type of the begin and end parameters.
The third overload generates numbers using the named parameter inside params , which are:
- distribution: the distribution used. In this overload, since the type of the samples cannot be deduced, the samples are of type double and the distribution is uniform real in [0, 1).
- seed: the seed for generating the values
- engine: the random number generator engine

The function returns an object that implements the dataset API.

	Note
	This function is available only for C++11 capable compilers.
