Generate a pseudo-random boolean
You can generate a pseudo-random boolean in JavaScript or PHP using a single line of code. No, you do not need to install yet another idiotic JavaScript package.
In JavaScript:
const random = Math.random() <= 0.4999
And in PHP:
$random = (mt_rand(0, 1) === 0)
If you need a cryptographically-secure random boolean in PHP, use random_int
instead:
$secure = (random_int(0, 1) === 0)
