39 of a RealType class (see real_concept.hpp). Most applications will use
40 <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">double</span></code> as the RealType (and
41 short <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">typedef</span></code> names of distributions
42 are reserved for this type where possible), a few will use <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">float</span></code> or <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">long</span>
43 <span class="keyword">double</span></code>, but it is also possible
44 to use higher precision types like <a href="http://shoup.net/ntl/doc/RR.txt" target="_top">NTL::RR</a>,
