NameError: name 'rand' is not defined - Truman - Jun-17-2020
From the book...
We'll start by creating a random set of 10 points on a two-dimensional plane. Using the standard convention, we'll arrange these in a 10×2 array
import numpy as np X = rand.rand(10, 2) print(X)
Error:---------------------------------------------------------------------------
NameError Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-4-ac81983deccd> in <module>
1 import numpy as np
2 import random
----> 3 X = rand.rand(10, 2)
4 print(X)
NameError: name 'rand' is not defined.rand?
RE: NameError: name 'rand' is not defined - buran - Jun-17-2020
In[9] rand = np.random.RandomState(42)so, your code would be
import numpy as np rand = np.random.RandomState(42) X = rand.rand(10, 2) print(X)

Yeah, it makes sense although number 42 in parenthesis is still a mystery.
RE: NameError: name 'rand' is not defined - buran - Jun-17-2020
Note, that is if you want the same seed 42 as in the example code

I am sure they deliberately choose it as seed

By the way, is there a chance that you also take a look at the topic "Computing the distance between each pair of points". These double colons are still making me headache.

Yeah, I'll have to ask my numerologist what 42 represents...

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy had some good parts and some not that good. Anyway, the author was an atheist so I don't think that I can get those answers that I need from him.
