Defined in header <experimental/random>
template < class IntType >
IntType randint( IntType a, IntType b ) ;
(library fundamentals TS v2)

Generates a random integer in the closed interval [a, b].

Parameters

a, b - integer values specifying the range

Return value

A random integer i in the closed interval [a, b], produced using a thread-local instance of std::uniform_int_distribution <IntType> invoked with the per-thread random number engine

Remarks

If IntType is not one of short, int, long, long long, unsigned short, unsigned int, unsigned long, or unsigned long long

The behavior is undefined if a > b.

Example

#include <experimental/random>
#include <iostream>
 
int main()
{
    int random_number = std::experimental::randint(100, 999);
    std::cout << "random 3-digit number: " << random_number << '\n';
}

Possible output:

random 3-digit number: 273
