std::random_device is a part of the C++ Standard Library and is used for generating non-deterministic random numbers. This library uses hardware sources like entropy to generate random numbers. It has a constantly changing seed value which makes the numbers unpredictable and suitable for cryptography and security applications.
Example 1: Generating a random integer between a range
#include #include
int main() { std::random_device rd; std::mt19937 gen(rd()); std::uniform_int_distribution<> dist(1, 100);
for (int i = 0; i < 10; ++i) { std::cout << dist(gen) << " "; } std::cout << std::endl; return 0; }
This example generates random integers between 1 and 100 using the std::uniform_int_distribution library. The std::random_device is used to seed the Mersenne Twister engine, which generates a sequence of random numbers.
for (const auto& i : v) { std::cout << i << " "; } std::cout << std::endl; return 0; }
This example shuffles a vector using the std::shuffle function. The std::random_device is used to seed the Mersenne Twister engine, which is then used by the std::shuffle function to generate a new shuffle sequence.
Determining Package Library:
The std::random_device is a part of the C++ Standard Library and does not require any external package libraries. It is available in all major C++ compilers like GCC, Clang, and MSVC.
