numpy.random.SeedSequence.generate_state#
method
- random.SeedSequence.generate_state(n_words, dtype=np.uint32)#
Return the requested number of words for PRNG seeding.
A BitGenerator should call this method in its constructor with an appropriate n_words parameter to properly seed itself.
- Parameters
- n_wordsint
- dtypenp.uint32 or np.uint64, optional
The size of each word. This should only be either
uint32
oruint64
. Strings (‘uint32’, ‘uint64’) are fine. Note that requestinguint64
will draw twice as many bits asuint32
for the same n_words. This is a convenience for BitGenerator`s that express their states as `uint64 arrays.
- Returns
- stateuint32 or uint64 array, shape=(n_words,)
