numpy.random.RandomState.tomaxint

method

RandomState.tomaxint(size=None)

Random integers between 0 and sys.maxint, inclusive.

Return a sample of uniformly distributed random integers in the interval [0, sys.maxint].

Parameters:	size : int or tuple of ints, optional Output shape. If the given shape is, e.g., (m, n, k), then m * n * k samples are drawn. Default is None, in which case a single value is returned.
Returns:	out : ndarray Drawn samples, with shape size.
