Random\Randomizer::nextInt

Description

Parameters Parameters

Return Values

A positive integer between 0 and a maximum value depending on the number of bytes returned from Random\Engine::generate. The exact maximum can be calculated as 2$engine_bytes * 8 - 1 - 1.

Errors/Exceptions

• To avoid inconsistencies, 32 bit PHP will throw Random\RandomException if the output size of Random\Engine::generate exceeds 32 bits, as the selected integer cannot be returned losslessly. This affects the native 64 bit engines Random\Engine\PcgOneseq128XslRr64 and Random\Engine\Xoshiro256StarStar. Any userland engine returning more than 4 bytes of randomness is also affected.

Examples

Random\Randomizer::nextInt() example

<?php
$r = new \Random\Randomizer();

// Random "next" integer:
echo $r->nextInt(), "\n";
?>

The above example will output something similar to:
