absl::Bernoulli

template<typename URBG>
bool
Bernoulli(
    URBG&& urbg,
    double p);

Description

absl::Bernoulli produces a random boolean value, with probability p (where 0.0 <= p <= 1.0) equaling true.

Prefer absl::Bernoulli to produce boolean values over other alternatives such as comparing an absl::Uniform() value to a specific output.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernoulli_distribution

Example:

absl::BitGen bitgen; ... if (absl::Bernoulli(bitgen, 1.0/3721.0)) { std::cout << "Asteroid field navigation successful."; }
