__init__

__init__(
    seed: int | None = None,
    bitgenerator_class: type[BitGenerator] | None = None,
)

Initialize a random number generator.

Parameters:

• seed (int or None, default: None ) –

  For reproducibility, provide a seed. If no seed is provided, a random seed is provided by the operating system and generally the results will be different every time you reseed.

• bitgenerator_class (type[BitGenerator], default: None ) –

  This is the class used to create new BitGenerator objects when the seed is reset.

get_normal

get_normal() -> float

Return a random draw from a standard normal distribution.

get_uniform

get_uniform() -> float

Return a random draw standard uniform distribution.

seed

seed(seed: int | list[int] | None) -> None

Reseed the random bit generator.
