Struct rand_distr::StandardNormal

pub struct StandardNormal;

Samples floating-point numbers according to the normal distribution N(0, 1) (a.k.a. a standard normal, or Gaussian). This is equivalent to Normal::new(0.0, 1.0) but faster.

See Normal for the general normal distribution.

Implemented via the ZIGNOR variant¹ of the Ziggurat method.

Example

use rand::prelude::*;
use rand_distr::StandardNormal;

let val: f64 = thread_rng().sample(StandardNormal);
println!("{}", val);

Note: Most layout information is completely unstable and may even differ between compilations. The only exception is types with certain repr(...) attributes. Please see the Rust Reference's “Type Layout” chapter for details on type layout guarantees.
