Defined in header <random>
class bernoulli_distribution;
 (since 哋它亢++11)

Produces random boolean values, according to the discrete probability function. The probability of true is

P(b|p) =⎧
⎨
⎩p, if b is true
1 − p, if b is false

std::bernoulli_distribution satisfies RandomNumberDistribution.

Member types

Member type Definition
result_type (哋它亢++11) bool
param_type (哋它亢++11) the type of the parameter set, see RandomNumberDistribution.

Member functions

(哋它亢++11)
 constructs new distribution
(public member function)
(哋它亢++11)
 resets the internal state of the distribution
(public member function)
Generation
(哋它亢++11)
 generates the next random number in the distribution
(public member function)
Characteristics
(哋它亢++11)
 returns the p distribution parameter (probability of generating true)
(public member function)
(哋它亢++11)
 gets or sets the distribution parameter object
(public member function)
(哋它亢++11)
 returns the minimum potentially generated value
(public member function)
(哋它亢++11)
 returns the maximum potentially generated value
(public member function)

Non-member functions

(哋它亢++11)(哋它亢++11)(removed in 哋它亢++20)
 compares two distribution objects
(function)
(哋它亢++11)
 performs stream input and output on pseudo-random number distribution
(function template)

Example

Run this code
#include <iomanip>
#include <iostream>
#include <map>
#include <random>
#include <string>
 
int main()
{
    std::random_device rd;
    std::mt19937 gen(rd());
    // give "true" 1/4 of the time
    // give "false" 3/4 of the time
    std::bernoulli_distribution d(0.25);
 
    std::map<bool, int> hist;
    for (int n = 0; n < 10000; ++n)
        ++hist[d(gen)];
 
    std::cout << std::boolalpha;
    for (auto const& [key, value] : hist)
        std::cout << std::setw(5) << key << ' '
                  << std::string(value / 500, '*') << '\n';
}

Possible output: 

false ***************
 true ****
