This snippet is straight from Stroustrup's The C++ Programming Language (4th Edition), ยง40.7; it requires C++11:
#include <functional>
#include <random>
class Rand_double
{
public:
Rand_double(double low, double high)
:r(std::bind(std::uniform_real_distribution<>(low,high),std::default_random_engine())){}
double operator()(){ return r(); }
private:
std::function<double()> r;
};
#include <iostream>
int main() {
// create the random number generator:
Rand_double rd{0,0.5};
// print 10 random number between 0 and 0.5
for (int i=0;i<10;++i){
std::cout << rd() << ' ';
}
return 0;
}
