    public:
      // types

## Description

Instantiations of `triangle_distribution` model a random distribution . A `triangle_distribution` has three parameters, `a`, `b`, and `c`, which are the smallest, the most probable and the largest values of the distribution respectively.

### `triangle_distribution` public construct/copy/destruct

1.     triangle_distribution(result_type a_arg = result_type(0),
                             result_type b_arg = result_type(0.5),
                             result_type c_arg = result_type(1));

   Constructs a `triangle_distribution` with the parameters `a`, `b`, and `c`.

   Preconditions: a <= b <= c.

### `triangle_distribution` public member functions

1.     result_type a() const;

   Returns the `a` parameter of the distribution

2.     result_type b() const;

   Returns the `b` parameter of the distribution

3.     result_type c() const;

   Returns the `c` parameter of the distribution

4.     void reset() ;

5.     template<typename Engine> result_type operator()(Engine & eng) ;
