An *n* dimensional array whose last dimension has length `k`, where

If true, a second array containing log likelihood of the drawn

This is usually used for reinforcement learning, where you can provide
reward as head gradient w.r.t. this array to estimate gradient.
out : NDArray, optional
Store output to an existing NDArray.
dtype : str or numpy.dtype, optional
Data type of the sample output array. The default is int32.

-------
List, or NDArray
For input `data` with `n` dimensions and shape `(d1, d2, ..., dn-1, k)`, and input
`shape` with shape `(s1, s2, ..., sx)`, returns an NDArray with shape
`(d1, d2, ... dn-1, s1, s2, ..., sx)`. The `s1, s2, ... sx` dimensions of the

distribution provided in the `k` dimension of `data`.
For the case `n`=1, and `x`=1 (one shape dimension), returned NDArray has shape `(s1,)`.
If `get_prob` is set to True, this function returns a list of format:
`[ndarray_output, log_likelihood_output]`, where `log_likelihood_output` is an NDArray of the

An NDArray of type `dtype`. If input `shape` has shape, e.g.,
`(m, n)`, the returned NDArray will shape will be `(m, n)`. Contents
of the returned NDArray will be samples from the interval `[low, high)`.
Examples
--------
>>> mx.nd.random.randint(5, 100)
[ 90]
<NDArray 1 @cpu(0)
>>> mx.nd.random.randint(-10, 2, ctx=mx.gpu(0))
[ -8]
<NDArray 1 @gpu(0)>
>>> mx.nd.random.randint(-10, 10, shape=(2,))
[ -5 4]
<NDArray 2 @cpu(0)>
