<random>
static constexpr result_type min();
Minimum value
Returns the minimum value potentially returned by member operator(), which is the same as its base engine's minimum value.
Return value
base().min()
result_type is a member type, defined as an alias of the type of the numbers generated by the base engine.

Possible output:
471250 is a random number between 0 and 16777215
