// absl::discrete_distribution
//
// A discrete distribution produces random integers i, where 0 <= i < n
// distributed according to the discrete probability function:
//
//     P(i|p0,...,pn−1)=pi
//
// This class is an implementation of discrete_distribution (see
// [rand.dist.samp.discrete]).
//
// The algorithm used is Walker's Aliasing algorithm, described in Knuth, Vol 2.
// absl::discrete_distribution takes O(N) time to precompute the probabilities
// (where N is the number of possible outcomes in the distribution) at
// construction, and then takes O(1) time for each variate generation.  Many
// other implementations also take O(N) time to construct an ordered sequence of
// partial sums, plus O(log N) time per variate to binary search.
