$RandomState

Usage

$RandomState gives a representation of the internal state of the pseudorandom generator used by Random.


Notes

• The value of $RandomState changes every time Random is called.
• You can use s = $RandomState to explicitly save the value of $RandomState, and $RandomState = s to restore.
• The value of $RandomState is always a long integer chosen from a certain large set of possibilities. You can assign $RandomState only to values in this set.
• You can use Block[{$RandomState}, expr] to localize the value of $RandomState during the evaluation of expr.
• See Section 3.2.4.
• See also: SeedRandom.
• New in Version 3.
