gen.Precision = 12

id := gen.Next()


fmt.Println(id.ToString())
//Output:

fmt.Println(id.ToBinaryString())
//Output:
//00000110 00001111 00011100 10110001 11001110 10001100 01110000 11100111 10111001 11110111 11100100 01001011 01010000 11100011 00110101 00111110
fmt.Println(id.ToMicrosoftString())
//Output:
//{060F1CB1CE-8C70-E7B9-F7E4-4B50E3353E}

fmt.Println(id.Time())
//Ouput:
//2021-07-16 11:08:28 -0700 PDT
