nextBits

abstract fun nextBits(bitCount: Int): Int(source)

Gets the next random bitCount number of bits.

Generates an Int whose lower bitCount bits are filled with random values and the remaining upper bits are zero.

Samples



import kotlin.math.sin


import kotlin.random.Random


import kotlin.test.assertTrue
fun main() { 
   //sampleStart 
   // always generates a 0
println(Random.nextBits(0))
// randomly generates a 0 or 1
println(Random.nextBits(1))
// generates a random non-negative Int value less than 256
println(Random.nextBits(8))
// generates a random Int value, may generate a negative value as well
println(Random.nextBits(32)) 
   //sampleEnd
}

Parameters

bitCount

number of bits to generate, must be in range 0..32, otherwise the behavior is unspecified.
