numpy.random.BitGenerator.random_raw#
method
- random.BitGenerator.random_raw(self, size=None)#
Return randoms as generated by the underlying BitGenerator
- Parameters
- sizeint or tuple of ints, optional
Output shape. If the given shape is, e.g.,
(m, n, k), thenm * n * ksamples are drawn. Default is None, in which case a single value is returned.- outputbool, optional
Output values. Used for performance testing since the generated values are not returned.
- Returns
- outuint or ndarray
Drawn samples.
Notes
This method directly exposes the raw underlying pseudo-random number generator. All values are returned as unsigned 64-bit values irrespective of the number of bits produced by the PRNG.
See the class docstring for the number of bits returned.
