template<class RealType=double> class uniform_real_distribution; | (since C++11) | |
Produces random floating-point values\(\small x\)x, uniformly distributed on the interval\(\small [a, b)\)[a, b), that is, distributed according to the probability density function:
| 1 |
| b − a |
std::uniform_real_distribution satisfies all requirements ofRandomNumberDistribution.

It is difficult to create a distribution over the closed interval\(\small[a, b]\)[a, b] from this distribution. Usingstd::nextafter(b,std::numeric_limits<RealType>::max()) as the second parameter does not always work due to rounding error.
Most existing implementations have a bug where they may occasionally return\(\small b\)b (GCC #63176LLVM #18767MSVC STL #1074). This was originally only thought to happen whenRealType isfloat and whenLWG issue 2524 is present, but it has since been shown thatneither is required to trigger the bug.
Print 10 random numbers between 1 and 2.
#include <iostream>#include <random> int main(){std::random_device rd;// Will be used to obtain a seed for the random number enginestd::mt19937 gen(rd());// Standard mersenne_twister_engine seeded with rd() std::uniform_real_distribution<> dis(1.0,2.0);for(int n=0; n<10;++n)// Use dis to transform the random unsigned int generated by gen into a// double in [1, 2). Each call to dis(gen) generates a new random double.std::cout<< dis(gen)<<' ';std::cout<<'\n';}
