< cpp‎ | numeric‎ | random‎ | independent bits engine

void seed(); | (1) | (since C++11)
void seed( result_type value ); | (2) | (since C++11)
template< class Sseq > void seed( Sseq& seq ); | (3) | (since C++11)

Reinitializes the internal state of the underlying engine using a new seed value.

1) Seeds the underlying engine with the default seed value. Effectively calls e.seed(), where `e` is the underlying engine.
2) Seeds the underlying engine with the seed value `s`. Effectively calls e.seed(value), where `e` is the underlying engine.
3) Seeds the underlying engine with the seed sequence `seq`. Effectively calls e.seed(seq), where `e` is the underlying engine. This template only participate in overload resolution if `Sseq` qualifies as a SeedSequence. In particular, this template does not participate in overload resolution if `Sseq` is implicitly convertible to `result_type`.

### Parameters

value | - | seed value to use in the initialization of the internal state of the underlying engine
seq | - | seed sequence to use in the initialization of the internal state of the underlying engine

### Return value

(none)

### Exceptions

(none)
