Description

Instantiations of class template bernoulli_distribution model a random distribution . Such a random distribution produces bool values distributed with probabilities P(true) = p and P(false) = 1-p. p is the parameter of the distribution.

`bernoulli_distribution` public construct/copy/destruct

```
explicit bernoulli_distribution(const RealType & p = 0.5);
```
Constructs a bernoulli_distribution object. p is the parameter of the distribution.

Requires: 0 <= p <= 1

explicit bernoulli_distribution(const param_type & param);

Constructs bernoulli_distribution from its parameters

`bernoulli_distribution` public member functions

```
RealType p() const;
```
Returns: The "p" parameter of the distribution.
```
bool min() const;
```
Returns the smallest value that the distribution can produce.
```
bool max() const;
```
Returns the largest value that the distribution can produce.
```
param_type param() const;
```
Returns the parameters of the distribution.
```
void param(const param_type & param);
```
Sets the parameters of the distribution.
```
void reset();
```
Effects: Subsequent uses of the distribution do not depend on values produced by any engine prior to invoking reset.
```
template<typename Engine> bool operator()(Engine & eng) const;
```
Returns: a random variate distributed according to the bernoulli_distribution .
```
template<typename Engine> 
  bool operator()(Engine & eng, const param_type & param) const;
```
Returns: a random variate distributed according to the bernoulli_distribution with parameters specified by param.

`bernoulli_distribution` friend functions

template<typename CharT, typename Traits> 
  friend std::basic_ostream< CharT, Traits > & 
  operator<<(std::basic_ostream< CharT, Traits > & os, 
             const bernoulli_distribution & bd);

Writes the parameters of the distribution to a std::ostream.

template<typename CharT, typename Traits> 
  friend std::basic_istream< CharT, Traits > & 
  operator>>(std::basic_istream< CharT, Traits > & is, 
             const bernoulli_distribution & bd);

Reads the parameters of the distribution from a std::istream.

friend bool operator==(const bernoulli_distribution & lhs, 
                       const bernoulli_distribution & rhs);

Returns true iff the two distributions will produce identical sequences of values given equal generators.

friend bool operator!=(const bernoulli_distribution & lhs, 
                       const bernoulli_distribution & rhs);

Returns true iff the two distributions will produce different sequences of values given equal generators.
