BUG: Change in random number sequence when np.random.RandomState.choice is used #28078
Closed as not planned

Description

@SelinBayramoglu

Describe the issue:

I create a random number generator (rng) with a seed to get a reproducible list of random numbers. The first two numbers in this list are num1 and num2. Before generating these numbers, I use the choice() to pick a value in a list. When I generate two numbers again, I get num3 and num4. I expected num2 and num3 to be the same, since they are generated when rng is called twice. However, I get different numbers.

Reproduce the code example:

import numpy as np

rng = np.random.RandomState(0)

num1 = rng.rand()
num2 = rng.rand()

print(num1, num2)
# 0.5488135039273248 0.7151893663724195

alist = range(1,101)

rng = np.random.RandomState(0)

a = rng.choice(alist)
num3 = rng.rand()
num4 = rng.rand()

print(num3, num4)
# 0.5928446182250183 0.8442657485810173
