//
// This header defines functions representing distributions, which you use in
// combination with an Abseil random bit generator to produce random values
// according to the rules of that distribution.
//
// The Abseil random library defines the following distributions within this
// file:
//
//   * `absl::Uniform` for uniform (constant) distributions having constant
//     probability
//   * `absl::Bernoulli` for discrete distributions having exactly two outcomes
//   * `absl::Beta` for continuous distributions parameterized through two
//     free parameters
//   * `absl::Exponential` for discrete distributions of events occurring
//     continuously and independently at a constant average rate
//   * `absl::Gaussian` (also known as "normal distributions") for continuous
//     distributions using an associated quadratic function
//   * `absl::LogUniform` for continuous uniform distributions where the log
//     to the given base of all values is uniform
//   * `absl::Poisson` for discrete probability distributions that express the
//     probability of a given number of events occurring within a fixed interval
//   * `absl::Zipf` for discrete probability distributions commonly used for
//     modelling of rare events
//
// Prefer use of these distribution function classes over manual construction of
// your own distribution classes, as it allows library maintainers greater
// flexibility to change the underlying implementation in the future.

// absl::Uniform<T>(tag, bitgen, lo, hi)
// -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
//
// `absl::Uniform()` produces random values of type `T` uniformly distributed in
// a defined interval {lo, hi}. The interval `tag` defines the type of interval
// which should be one of the following possible values:
//
//   * `absl::IntervalOpenOpen`
//   * `absl::IntervalOpenClosed`
//   * `absl::IntervalClosedOpen`
//   * `absl::IntervalClosedClosed`
//
// where "open" refers to an exclusive value (excluded) from the output, while
// "closed" refers to an inclusive value (included) from the output.
//
// In the absence of an explicit return type `T`, `absl::Uniform()` will deduce
// the return type based on the provided endpoint arguments {A lo, B hi}.
// Given these endpoints, one of {A, B} will be chosen as the return type, if
// a type can be implicitly converted into the other in a lossless way. The
// lack of any such implcit conversion between {A, B} will produce a
// compile-time error
//
// See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_distribution_(continuous)
//
// Example:
//
//   absl::BitGen bitgen;
//
//   // Produce a random float value between 0.0 and 1.0, inclusive
//   auto x = absl::Uniform(absl::IntervalClosedClosed, bitgen, 0.0f, 1.0f);
//
//   // The most common interval of `absl::IntervalClosedOpen` is available by
//   // default:
//
//   auto x = absl::Uniform(bitgen, 0.0f, 1.0f);
//
//   // Return-types are typically inferred from the arguments, however callers
//   // can optionally provide an explicit return-type to the template.
//
//   auto x = absl::Uniform<float>(bitgen, 0, 1);

// [0], [1, b-1], [b, b^2-1] .. [b^(k-1), (b^k)-1] .. [b^floor(log(n, b)), n]
// and is uniformly distributed within each bucket.
//
// The resulting probability density is inversely related to bucket size, though

// probable result.
//
// If `lo` is nonzero then this distribution is shifted to the desired interval,
// so LogUniform(lo, hi, b) is equivalent to LogUniform(0, hi-lo, b)+lo.
//

// `absl::Zipf` produces discrete probabilities commonly used for modelling of
// rare events over the closed interval [0, hi]. The parameters `v` and `q`
// determine the skew of the distribution. `T`  must be an integral type, but
// may be inferred from the type of `hi`.
//
// See http://mathworld.wolfram.com/ZipfDistribution.html

// Example:
//
//   absl::BitGen bitgen;
//   ...
//   int term_rank = absl::Zipf<int>(bitgen);
