FBB::IRandStream objects may be used to extract random numbers in a
given range from a stream.
NAMESPACE
FBB
All constructors, members, operators and manipulators, mentioned in this
man-page, are defined in the namespace FBB.
INHERITS FROM
std::istream, FBB::RandBuffer (private)
CONSTRUCTORS
IRandStream(int max):
This FBB::IRandStream() constructor initializes the random generator.
The default seed (i.e., 1) for the srand(3) function is used, meaning that
every new run of the program will generate the same sequence of random
values. Another constructor (see below) is provided when this is not
considered appropriate. Random values between 1 and max (inclusive) are
returned.
IRandStream(int min, int max):
This FBB::IRandStream() constructor initializes the random generator.
The default seed (i.e., 1) for the srand(3) function is used, meaning that
every new run of the program will generate the same sequence of random
values. Another constructor (see below) is provided when this is not
considered appropriate. Random values between min and max (inclusive)
are returned.
IRandStream(int min, int max, int seed):
This FBB::IRandStream() constructor initializes the random
generator. The seed is used to initialze the random number generator. To start
the random generator at some unpredictable point, time(0) could be used.
Random values between min and max (inclusive) are returned.
INHERITED MEMBERS
Since the class uses public derivation from std::istream, all members
of this class can be used.
EXAMPLE
#include <iostream>
#include <bobcat/irandstream>
using namespace std;
using namespace FBB;
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
IRandStream in(1000);
for (; argc--; )
{
size_t random;
in >> random;
cout << random << endl;
}
return 0;
}
