// This header defines a class for representing a uniform floating-point
// distribution over a half-open interval [a,b). You use this distribution in
// combination with an Abseil random bit generator to produce random values
// according to the rules of the distribution.
//
// `absl::uniform_real_distribution` is a drop-in replacement for the C++11
// `std::uniform_real_distribution` [rand.dist.uni.real] but is considerably
// faster than the libstdc++ implementation.
//
// Note: the standard-library version may occasionally return `1.0` when
// default-initialized. See https://bugs.llvm.org//show_bug.cgi?id=18767
// `absl::uniform_real_distribution` does not exhibit this behavior.
