mxutils.Random.Magic

property Random.Magic

Gets or sets the magic numbers used by the hash function.

Note

The magic numbers are used by the hash function to generate pseudo-random numbers. The internal default values are 721.0561 and 333567.5412. Modifying the magic numbers is usually not necessary, use the Seed property to get ‘different’ hash patterns instead.

Parameters

magic (tuple[float, float]) – The magic numbers to set. The second value should be larger than the first one and both values must be greater than 1.0.

Raises

• TypeError – When the magic numbers are not a tuple of two floats.

• ValueError – When the magic numbers are less than or equal to 1.0 or the second value is less than the first one.

Returns

The magic numbers used by the hash function.

Return type

tuple[float, float]

Example

import mxutils

# Create a custom random number generator with a seed of 42 and custom magic numbers.
rnd: mxutils.Random = mxutils.Random(42, (123.0, 4567.0))

# Get the magic numbers used by the hash function.
magic: tuple[float, float] = rnd.Magic

# Set the magic numbers used by the hash function.
rnd.Magic = (98.76, 543.21)
