std:: discard_block_engine

Defined in header <random>

class Engine,
std:: size_t P, std:: size_t R

> class discard_block_engine ;
(since C++11)

discard_block_engine is a pseudo-random number engine adaptor that discards a certain amount of data produced by the base engine. From each block of size P generated by the base engine, the adaptor keeps only R numbers, discarding the rest.

Template parameters

Engine - the type of the wrapped engine.
P - the size of a block. Expected that P > 0 .
R - the number of used numbers per block. Expected that 0 < R ≤ P .
Type requirements
-
Engine must meet the requirements of RandomNumberEngine .
