Return a pseudo‐random unsigned integer in the range from zero to one less than the specified `modulus` corresponding to the specified `string` having the specified `stringLength`. `string` need not be null‐terminated and may contain embedded null characters. The behavior is undefined unless `0 <= stringLength` and `0 < modulus < 2ˆ31`. Note that `modulus` is expected to be a prime not close to an integral power of 2. Also note that specifying a `modulus` of 1 will cause 0 to be returned for every `string`.
