cauchy_distribution() : cauchy_distribution(0.0) {} | (1) | (since C++11)
explicit cauchy_distribution( RealType a, RealType b = 1.0 ); | (2) | (since C++11)
explicit cauchy_distribution( const param_type& params ); | (3) | (since C++11)

Constructs a new distribution object. (2) uses `a` and `b` as the distribution parameters. (3) uses `params` as the distribution parameters.

### Parameters

a | - | the a distribution parameter (location)
b | - | the b distribution parameter (scale)
params | - | the distribution parameter set

### Defect reports

The following behavior-changing defect reports were applied retroactively to previously published C++ standards.

DR | Applied to | Behavior as published | Correct behavior
