# [−][src]Module rand::prelude

Convenience re-export of common members

Like the standard library's prelude, this module simplifies importing of common items. Unlike the standard prelude, the contents of this module must be imported manually:

    use rand::prelude::*;

## Re-exports

## Search Tricks

Prefix searches with a type followed by a colon (e.g., `fn:`) to restrict the search to a given type.

Accepted types are: `fn`, `mod`, `struct`, `enum`, `trait`, `type`, `macro`, and `const`.

Search functions by type signature (e.g., `vec -> usize` or `* -> vec`)

Search multiple things at once by splitting your query with comma (e.g., `str,u8` or `String,struct:Vec,test`)
