numpy.random.get_state()

numpy.random.get_state()

Return a tuple representing the internal state of the generator.

For more details, see set_state.

Returns:

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`.

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.
