std::extreme_value_distribution::(constructor)

(1)
explicit extreme_value_distribution ( result_type a = 0.0, result_type b = 1.0 );
(2)
explicit extreme_value_distribution ( const param_type& parm );
Construct extreme value distribution
Constructs an extreme_value_distribution object, adopting the distribution parameters specified either by a and b or by object parm.

Parameters

a
Distribution parameter a, which defines the location (shift) of the distribution.
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.

// extreme_value_distribution example
#include <iostream>
#include <chrono>
#include <random>

int main()
{
  // construct a trivial random generator engine from a time-based seed:
  unsigned seed = std::chrono::system_clock::now().time_since_epoch().count();
  std::default_random_engine generator (seed);

  std::extreme_value_distribution<double> distribution (0.0,1.0);

  std::cout << "some extreme value-distributed(0.0,1.0) results:" << std::endl;
  for (int i=0; i<10; ++i)
    std::cout << distribution(generator) << std::endl;

  return 0;
}

Possible output:
some extreme value-distributed(0.0,1.0) results:
0.908025
-0.258103
0.780405
-0.595635
-0.770574
2.85371
