Doubt regarding the seed function

#1

can u tell me more about the seed function as in the video prateek bhaiya has numbers as (7,8,7) by the seed function but I have 10 numbers coming each time I am running the seed function so why is it so

Hey @bhavyahoda, I would request you to go through this link to understand the seed function better. Seed function is basically used to save the state of a random function, so that it can generate same random numbers on multiple executions of the code.

To check why you are getting 10 numbers, I will have to look at your code (as seed function doesn’t increase the size of the array in any case. ) I request you to please share the link to your code :+1:

Hope this helps :+1:

Hey @bhavyahoda, this is happening because if you would observe sir has run the following code first :

a=np.random.randint(5,10,3)
print(a)
#so this return 3 random integers from range 5 to 10 in which 5 is inclusive

and after this sir executes this cell :

np.random.seed(1)
np.random.shuffle(a)
print(a)

That’s why sir is getting 3 values and you are getting 10. Remember the sequence of execution of cells matter a lot. I hope this clears your doubt :slight_smile:

If you still have any, you can contact me anytime :+1:
