Hi,
I have been using the following to generate reproducible sequence of
random numbers
sage: D = GeneralDiscreteDistribution([0.5, 0.5]); D.set_seed(0)
sage: [D.get_random_element() for _ in xrange(5)]
[1, 0, 0, 1, 0]
sage: D.set_seed(0)
sage: [D.get_random_element() for _ in xrange(5)]
[1, 0, 0, 1, 0]
Why so? Because the set_random_seed(0) call does not set the random seed
for all random number generators:
sage: D = GeneralDiscreteDistribution([0.5, 0.5]);
sage: set_random_seed(0)
sage: [D.get_random_element() for _ in xrange(5)]
[1, 0, 0, 0, 0]
sage: [randint(1,9) for _ in xrange(5)]
[2, 5, 1, 3, 5]
sage: set_random_seed(0)
sage: [D.get_random_element() for _ in xrange(5)]
[1, 0, 1, 0, 1]
sage: [randint(1,9) for _ in xrange(5)]
[2, 5, 1, 3, 5]
So, my question is - is there any "universal" command which can set the
seed for _all_ random number generators in Sage?
