public member function

void seed (result_type val = default_seed);

template <class Sseq>void seed (Sseq& q);

Seed engine

• For version (1), the state value is set to val%modulus (unless both val and increment are multiples of modulus, in which case the state value is set to default_seed).
• For version (2), the function calls q.generate on an array of four elements (plus an additional element for each time the number of bits to represent m surpasses 32). Then it discards the first three elements obtained, and uses the remainder to construct a single value of type result_type, which is used to initialize the engine as if version (1) was called with it.

val

A seeding value.
result_type is a member type, defined as an alias of the first class template parameter (UIntType).
default_seed is a member constant, defined as 1u.

q

A seed sequence object, such as an object of type seed_seq.
Sseq shall be a seed sequence class, with a generate member function.
