An exponential_­distribution random number distribution produces random numbers distributed according to the probability density function

template<class RealType = double>
  class exponential_distribution {
  public:
    // types
    using result_type = RealType;
    using param_type  = unspecified;

    // constructors and reset functions
    explicit exponential_distribution(RealType lambda = 1.0);
    explicit exponential_distribution(const param_type& parm);
    void reset();

    // generating functions
    template<class URBG>
      result_type operator()(URBG& g);

      result_type operator()(URBG& g, const param_type& parm);

#
Requires: .

#
Effects: Constructs an exponential_­distribution object; lambda corresponds to the parameter of the distribution.
RealType lambda() const;

#
Returns: The value of the lambda parameter with which the object was constructed.
