numpy.random.RandomState.get_state#
method
- random.RandomState.get_state(legacy=True)#
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. Raises ValueError if the underlying bit generator is not an instance of MT19937.
- Returns:
- out{tuple(str, ndarray of 624 uints, int, int, float), dict}
If legacy is True, 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.

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.
