Function `std.random.uniform01`

Generates a uniformly-distributed floating point number of type T in the range [0, 1). If no random number generator is specified, the default RNG rndGen will be used as the source of randomness.


						
				T uniform01(T)
				()
				

				if (isFloatingPoint!T);
				

				

				T uniform01(T, UniformRNG)
				(
				

				  ref UniformRNG rng
				

				)
				

				if (isFloatingPoint!T && isUniformRNG!UniformRNG);

uniform01 offers a faster generation of random variates than the equivalent uniform!"[)"(0.0, 1.0) and so may be preferred for some applications.

Parameters

Name	Description
rng	(optional) random number generator to use; if not specified, defaults to `rndGen`

Returns

Floating-point random variate of type T drawn from the uniform distribution across the half-open interval [0, 1).
