Creating random Bool in Swift

Question

I'm needing to create a random bool value in my game, in Swift.

It's basically, if Yes (or 1), spawn one object, if No (or 0), spawn the other.

So far, looking at this question and a similar one on here, I found this:

let randomSequenceNumber = Int(arc4random_uniform(2)) 

Now it works, but it seems bias to 0 to me... like ridiculously bias...

This is how I'm then using the value:

if(randomSequenceNumber == 0)     //spawn object A else     //spawn object B 

Is there a better way to implement this using a random bool value? That isn't bias to a certain value?

Update

Bit of an experiment to see how many 1's vs 0's were were generated in 10,000 calls:

func experiment() {     var numbers: [Int] = []     var tester: Int = 0     var sum = 0      for i in 0...10000 {         tester = Int(arc4random_uniform(2))         numbers.append(tester)         print(i)     }      for number in numbers {         sum += number     }      print("Total 1's: ", sum) }  Test 1: Console Output: Total 1's: 4936 Test 2: Console Output: Total 1's: 4994 Test 3: Console Output: Total 1's: 4995 

Answer 1

Xcode 10 with Swift 4.2

Looks like Apple  engineers are listening

let randomBool = Bool.random() 

Answer 2

import Foundation  func randomBool() -> Bool {     return arc4random_uniform(2) == 0 }  for i in 0...10 {     print(randomBool()) }
