Random number with uniform distribution

Question

I'm trying to generate random numbers between zero and one with uniform distribution, is there any way?

Answer 1

Thanks for your reply Dennis, and Do you know what method is used to generate pseudo-random numbers in c++11?? Is it based on cpu clock?

https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/numeric/random

For integrals:
https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/numeric/random/uniform_int_distribution

For floating points:

Answer 3

That depends on the engine that you use that is listed on the same page.
std::mt19937 is the one I usually use which uses the Mersenne Twister algorithm.
