Manages the associated distribution parameter set.

1) Returns the associated parameter set.

2) Sets the associated parameter set to params

Parameters

-

new contents of the associated parameter set

Return value

Example

Run this code

#include <iostream>
#include <random>

int main()
{
    std::random_device rd;
    std::mt19937 gen(rd());
    using BinomialDist = std::binomial_distribution<>;
    BinomialDist bino_dis(1, 0.5);

    std::cout << "A sample of Binomial(  1, 0.5): " << bino_dis(gen) << '\n';

    // Use another parameter set
    bino_dis.param(BinomialDist::param_type(100,0.9));
    std::cout << "A sample of Binomial(100, 0.9): " << bino_dis(gen) << '\n';
}

Possible output:

A sample of Binomial(  1, 0.5): 0
A sample of Binomial(100, 0.9): 94
