Trait rand::distributions::uniform::UniformSampler[][src]

pub trait UniformSampler: Sized {
    type X;
    fn new(low: Self::X, high: Self::X) -> Self;
fn new_inclusive(low: Self::X, high: Self::X) -> Self;
fn sample<R: Rng + ?Sized>(&self, rng: &mut R) -> Self::X; fn sample_single<R: Rng + ?Sized>(
        low: Self::X,
        high: Self::X,
        rng: &mut R
    ) -> Self::X { ... } }

Helper trait handling actual uniform sampling.

See the module documentation on how to implement Uniform range sampling for a custom type.

Implementation of sample_single is optional, and is only useful when the implementation can be faster than Self::new(low, high).sample(rng).

Associated Types

The type sampled by this implementation.

Required Methods

Construct self, with inclusive lower bound and exclusive upper bound [low, high).

Usually users should not call this directly but instead use Uniform::new, which asserts that low < high before calling this.

Construct self, with inclusive bounds [low, high].

Usually users should not call this directly but instead use Uniform::new_inclusive, which asserts that low <= high before calling this.

Sample a value.

Provided Methods

Sample a single value uniformly from a range with inclusive lower bound and exclusive upper bound [low, high).

Usually users should not call this directly but instead use Uniform::sample_single, which asserts that low < high before calling this.

Via this method, implementations can provide a method optimized for sampling only a single value from the specified range. The default implementation simply calls UniformSampler::new then sample on the result.
