# makeState()

Creates a new state object.

## Declaration

```swift
func makeState() -> MLState
```

## Discussion

Discussion Core ML framework will allocate the state buffers declared in the model. The allocated state buffers are initialized to zeros. To initialize with different values, use .withMultiArray(for:) to get the mutable MLMultiArray-view to the state buffer. // Create state that contains two state buffers: s1 and s2. // Then, initialize s1 to 1.0 and s2 to 2.0. let state = model.makeState() state.withMultiArray(for: "s1") { stateMultiArray in     stateMultiArray[0] = 1.0 } state.withMultiArray(for: "s2") { stateMultiArray in     stateMultiArray[0] = 2.0 }
