The a() method of uniform_int_distribution class in C++ is used to get the lower bound of this uniform_int_distribution. If there is no lower bound then this method returns 0. Syntax:
result_type a() const;
Parameters: This method do not accepts any parameters. Return Value: This method return the 'a' parameter in the distribution, which is the lower bound or the minimum possibly generated value in this uniform_int_distribution. Its default value is 0. Example: CPP
// C++ code to demonstrate
// the working of a() function

#include <iostream>

// for uniform_int_distribution function
#include <random>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    int a = 10, b = 100;

    // Initializing of uniform_int_distribution class
    uniform_int_distribution<int> distribution(a, b);

    // Using a()
    cout << "Lower Bound: "
         << distribution.a() << endl;

    return 0;
}
Output:
Lower Bound: 10
