Random\Randomizer::nextInt — Get a positive integer

Description

public Random\Randomizer::nextInt(): int

Warning

This function is currently not documented; only its argument list is available.

Parameters

This function has no 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 andRandom\Engine\Xoshiro256StarStar. Any userland engine returning more than 4 bytes of randomness is also affected.
• Any Throwables thrown by the Random\Engine::generate() method of the underlying Random\Randomizer::$engine.

Examples
