 //! Both of these use 16 bytes of state and 128-bit seeds, and are considered
 //! value-stable (i.e. any change affecting the output given a fixed seed would
 //! be considered a breaking change to the crate).
+//!
+//! # Example
+//!
+//! To initialize a generator, use the [`SeedableRng`][rand_core::SeedableRng] trait:
+//!
+//! ```
+//! use rand_core::{SeedableRng, RngCore};
+//! use rand_pcg::Pcg64Mcg;
+//!
+//! let mut rng = Pcg64Mcg::seed_from_u64(0);
+//! let x: u32 = rng.next_u32();
+//! ```
+//!
+//! The functionality of this crate is implemented using traits from the `rand_core` crate, but you may use the `rand`
+//! crate for further functionality to initialize the generator from various sources and to generate random values:
+//!
+//! ```
+//! use rand::{Rng, SeedableRng};
+//! use rand_pcg::Pcg64Mcg;
+//!
+//! let mut rng = Pcg64Mcg::from_entropy();
+//! let x: f64 = rng.gen();
+//! ```
