egttools.numerical.numerical.Random

class Random

Bases: pybind11_object

Random seed generator.

Methods

generate	Generates a random seed.
init	Overloaded function.
seed	This static methods changes the seed of egttools.Random.

__init__(*args, **kwargs)

__new__(**kwargs)

static generate() → int

Generates a random seed.

The generated seed can be used to seed other pseudo-random generators, so that the initial state of the simulation can always be tracked and the simulation can be reproduced. This is very important both for debugging purposes as well as for scientific research. However, this approach should NOT be used in any cryptographic applications, it is NOT safe.

Returns

A random seed which can be used to seed new random generators.

Return type

int

static init(*args, **kwargs)

Overloaded function.

1. init() -> egttools.numerical.numerical.Random

   This static method initializes the random seed.

   This static method initializes the random seed generator from random_device and returns an instance of egttools.Random which is used to seed the random generators used across egttools.

   egttools.Random

   An instance of the random seed generator.

2. init(seed: int) -> egttools.numerical.numerical.Random

   This static method initializes the random seed generator from seed.

   This static method initializes the random seed generator from seed and returns an instance of egttools.Random which is used to seed the random generators used across egttools.

   seedint

   Integer value used to seed the random generator.

   egttools.Random

   An instance of the random seed generator.

static seed(seed: int) → None

This static methods changes the seed of egttools.Random.

Parameters

int – The new seed for the egttools.Random module which is used to seed every other pseudo-random generation in the egttools package.
