That is correct. An x-bit binary number can be expanded as "A number in the binary system that consists of x binary digits".

$\begingroup$ when we say algorithm generates 64bit random (binary)numbers, is that means its outputs' length is only 64bits. OR it means its outputs' range is from 0 to (2^64)-1, with any length? $\endgroup$– SHdotComCommented Oct 23, 2015 at 2:43

$\begingroup$ From my post, a 64-bit binary number would be a number in the binary system consisting of 64 bits. $\endgroup$ Commented Oct 23, 2015 at 13:53
