Construct Cachy distribution
Constructs a cauchy_distribution object, adopting the distribution parameters specified either by a and b or by object parm.
Parameters
- a
- Distribution parameter a, which specifies the location of the peak (its mode).
result_type is a member type that represents the type of the random numbers generated on each call to operator(). It is defined as an alias of the first class template parameter (RealType).
- b
- Distribution parameter b, which defines the scale of the distribution.
This shall be a positive value (b>0).
result_type is a member type that represents the type of the random numbers generated on each call to operator(). It is defined as an alias of the first class template parameter (RealType).
- parm
- An object representing the distribution's parameters, obtained by a call to member function param.
param_type is a member type.

// cauchy_distribution example

int main()
