//! The Bernoulli distribution.

use crate::distributions::Distribution;
use crate::Rng;
use core::{fmt, u64};

/// The Bernoulli distribution.
///
/// This is a special case of the Binomial distribution where `n = 1`.
///
/// # Example
///
/// ```rust
/// use rand::distributions::{Bernoulli, Distribution};
///
/// let d = Bernoulli::new(0.3).unwrap();
/// let v = d.sample(&mut rand::thread_rng());
/// println!("{} is from a Bernoulli distribution", v);
/// ```
///
/// # Precision
///
/// This `Bernoulli` distribution uses 64 bits from the RNG (a `u64`),
/// so only probabilities that are multiples of 2<sup>-64</sup> can be
/// represented.
#[derive(Clone, Copy, Debug)]
pub struct Bernoulli {
    /// Probability of success, relative to the maximal integer.
    p_int: u64,
}

// To sample from the Bernoulli distribution we use a method that compares a
// random `u64` value `v < (p * 2^64)`.
//
// If `p == 1.0`, the integer `v` to compare against can not represented as a
// `u64`. We manually set it to `u64::MAX` instead (2^64 - 1 instead of 2^64).
// Note that  value of `p < 1.0` can never result in `u64::MAX`, because an
// `f64` only has 53 bits of precision, and the next largest value of `p` will
// result in `2^64 - 2048`.
//
// Also there is a 100% theoretical concern: if someone consistenly wants to
// generate `true` using the Bernoulli distribution (i.e. by using a probability
// of `1.0`), just using `u64::MAX` is not enough. On average it would return
// false once every 2^64 iterations. Some people apparently care about this
// case.
//
// That is why we special-case `u64::MAX` to always return `true`, without using
// the RNG, and pay the performance price for all uses that *are* reasonable.
// Luckily, if `new()` and `sample` are close, the compiler can optimize out the
// extra check.
const ALWAYS_TRUE: u64 = u64::MAX;

// This is just `2.0.powi(64)`, but written this way because it is not available
// in `no_std` mode.
