Anyway, you will only find here, in EO tutorial, the basics of STL that you will need to understand most of EO code - and to guess what the parts you don't understand are actually doing. Don't worry, I -don't understand everything :-) +don't +understand everything :-)

EO also provides random_generators that can be used in STL call to generate series of random numbers, as in eoPop initializers. -

Note: the eo::

+As early versions of EO (<= 9.1) did not use a separate namespace
+for rng, the compiler directive using eo::rng in eoRNG.h allows you to
+use the name rng without the eo::
+prefix. However, the notation eo::rng
+should be preferred and might become mandatory some day.
