numpy.random.RandomState.get_state — NumPy v1.16 Manual (original) (raw)

method

Return a tuple representing the internal state of the generator.

For more details, see set_state.

Returns: out : tuple(str, ndarray of 624 uints, int, int, float) The returned tuple has the following items: the string ‘MT19937’. a 1-D array of 624 unsigned integer keys. an integer pos. an integer has_gauss. a float cached_gaussian.

Notes

set_state and get_state are not needed to work with any of the random distributions in NumPy. If the internal state is manually altered, the user should know exactly what he/she is doing.
