# numpy.random.RandomState.tomaxint

`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 : tuple of ints, int, optional Shape of output. If this is, for example, (m,n,k), m*n*k samples are generated. If no shape is specified, a single sample is returned.
  Returns : | out : ndarray Drawn samples, with shape size.

  `random_integers`
    Uniform sampling over a given closed interval of integers.

  Examples

      >>> RS = np.random.mtrand.RandomState() # need a RandomState object
      >>> RS.tomaxint((2,2,2))
