std::independent_bits_engine::seed

(1)
void seed();
(2)
void seed (result_type val);
(3)
template <class Sseq>void seed (Sseq& q);
Seed base engine
Re-initializes the state of the base engine, by calling its seed member function with the same argument (if any).

Parameters

val
A seeding value. This value is passed to the base engine's constructor.
result_type is a member type, defined as an alias of the type of elements produced by base.
q
A seed sequence object, such as an object of type seed_seq.
Sseq shall be a seed sequence class, with a generate member function.

Return value

None

Possible output:
Please, enter a seed: give me numbers Your seed produced: 8733447681123360525 A time seed produced: 8954499881567149160 


Complexity

Determined by the base engine.
