 GetState
 Get the internal state of the Linear Congruence Generator

 Calling Sequence GetState( )

Description

 • The GetState command returns the internal state of the Linear Congruence pseudo-random number generator.  The state is an integer.
 • The state returned by GetState can be passed into SetState to regenerate a sequence of numbers.
