NextULong

Returns a random 32-bit unsigned value.

Syntax

NextULong( ) as uint32

Notes

• The top 32 bits of a 64-bit draw, so it costs the same as NextULongInt.
• Every one of the 2^32 values is equally likely.
• Like the rest of the Rng, not secure.

Examples

#import "std/numeric"
using numeric

dim r as Rng = RngFromEntropy( )

dim as uint32 a = r.NextULong( )
dim as uint32 b = r.NextULong( )

print a <> b                 '' -1 (true), almost always
