    /**
     * Returns the next pseudorandom, uniformly distributed

     * {@code boolean} value is pseudorandomly generated and returned.  The
     * values {@code true} and {@code false} are produced with
     * (approximately) equal probability.
     *
     * <p>The method {@code nextBoolean} is implemented by class {@code Random}
     * as if by:
     *  <pre> {@code
     * public boolean nextBoolean() {
     *   return next(1) != 0;
     * }}</pre>
