randomgen.mtrand.RandomState.get_state¶
- RandomState.get_state()¶
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), dict}
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
.
If legacy is False, or the bit generator is not NT19937, then state is returned as a dictionary.
- legacybool
Flag indicating the return a legacy tuple state when the bit generator is MT19937.

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.
