Description
|
|
|
•
|
The SetState command sets the state of the pseudo-random number generator used by Generate. Currently the Mersenne Twister generator is used.
|
|
•
|
A state returned by GetState can be passed into SetState to regenerate a sequence of numbers.
|
|
•
|
SetState accepts one optional argument, state.
|
|
|
The state argument specifies the data used to set the state of the generator. This argument is passed on to the SetState method of the underlying pseudo-random number generator. Currently the MersenneTwister[SetState] function is called. If the state argument is not given then the state is seeded using values taken from the system.
