Remarks

Returns the next pseudorandom, uniformly distributed boolean value from this random number generator's sequence. The general contract of nextBoolean is that one boolean value is pseudorandomly generated and returned. The values true and false are produced with (approximately) equal probability.

The method nextBoolean is implemented by class Random as if by:

{@code
            public boolean nextBoolean() {
              return next(1) != 0;
            }}

Added in 1.2.
