std::lognormal_distribution

Since C++11

Header: <random>

The lognormal_distribution random number distribution produces random numbers x > 0 according to a Log-normal distribution:

# Declarations

class lognormal_distribution;

(since C++11)

# Example

#include <map>
#include <random>
#include <string>
 
int main()

    std::map<int, int> hist;
    for (int n = 0; n < 1e4; ++n)
        ++hist[std::round(d(gen))];
 
    for (std::cout << std::fixed << std::setprecision(1); auto [x, y] : hist)
        std::cout << std::hex << x << ' ' << std::string(y / 200, '*') << '\n';
