stdmt19937

stdmt19937 is a pseudorandom number generator algorithm. It is a member of the Mersenne Twister family of generators. The specific variant, stdmt19937, is commonly found in C++ standard library implementations under the name `std::mt19937`. This generator is known for its long period of 2^19937 - 1 and its good statistical properties, making it suitable for a wide range of applications including simulations and statistical sampling. The algorithm is seeded with an initial value, which determines the sequence of numbers generated. Different seeds will produce different sequences, but the sequence for a given seed will always be the same. It produces unsigned 32-bit integers. For applications requiring higher quality randomness or specific cryptographic properties, other generators might be more appropriate. The implementation in C++'s `<random>` header provides a robust and convenient way to access this generator.
