std::linear_congruential_engine
friend bool operator == ( const linear_congruential_engine & lhs,
const linear_congruential_engine & rhs ) ;
(1) (since C++11)
friend bool operator ! = ( const linear_congruential_engine & lhs,
const linear_congruential_engine & rhs ) ;
(2) (since C++11)
(until C++20)

Compares two pseudo-random number engines. Two engines are equal, if their internal states are equivalent, that is, if they would generate equivalent values for any number of calls of operator ( ) .

These functions are not visible to ordinary unqualified or qualified lookup , and can only be found by argument-dependent lookup when std:: linear_congruential_engine < UIntType, a, c, m > is an associated class of the arguments.

The != operator is synthesized from operator== .

(since C++20)

Parameters

lhs, rhs - engines to compare

Return value

1) true if the engines are equal, false otherwise.
2) true if the engines are not equal, false otherwise.
