Description

Instantiations of triangle_distribution model a random distribution . A triangle_distribution has three parameters, a, b, and c, which are the smallest, the most probable and the largest values of the distribution respectively.

`triangle_distribution` public construct/copy/destruct

explicit triangle_distribution(RealType a = 0.0, RealType b = 0.5, 
                               RealType c = 1.0);

Constructs a triangle_distribution with the parameters a, b, and c.

Preconditions: a <= b <= c.

explicit triangle_distribution(const param_type & param);

Constructs a triangle_distribution from its parameters.

`triangle_distribution` public member functions

```
result_type a() const;
```
Returns the a parameter of the distribution
```
result_type b() const;
```
Returns the b parameter of the distribution
```
result_type c() const;
```
Returns the c parameter of the distribution
```
RealType min() const;
```
Returns the smallest value that the distribution can produce.
```
RealType 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> result_type operator()(Engine & eng);
```
Returns a random variate distributed according to the triangle distribution.
```
template<typename Engine> 
  result_type operator()(Engine & eng, const param_type & param);
```
Returns a random variate distributed according to the triangle distribution with parameters specified by param.

`triangle_distribution` friend functions

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

Writes 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 triangle_distribution & td);

Reads the distribution from a std::istream.

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

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

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

Returns true if the two distributions may produce different sequences of values given equal generators.
