cauchy_distribution() : cauchy_distribution(0.0) {}	(1)	(since C++11)
explicit cauchy_distribution( RealType a, RealType b = 1.0 );	(2)	(since C++11)
explicit cauchy_distribution( const param_type& params );	(3)	(since C++11)

Constructs a new distribution object. (2) uses a and b as the distribution parameters. (3) uses params as the distribution parameters.

Parameters

a	-	the a distribution parameter (location)
b	-	the b distribution parameter (scale)
params	-	the distribution parameter set
