numpy.random.get_state¶
- random.get_state()¶
Return a tuple representing the internal state of the generator.
For more details, see
set_state.- Parameters
- legacybool, optional
Flag indicating to return a legacy tuple state when the BitGenerator is MT19937, instead of a dict.
- 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 BitGenerator is not MT19937, then state is returned as a dictionary.

Notes
set_stateandget_stateare 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.
