"""The Variational Algorithm Base Class.

This class can be used an interface for working with Variation Algorithms, such as VQE,
QAOA, or QSVM, and also provides helper utilities for implementing new variational algorithms.
Writing a new variational algorithm is a simple as extending this class, implementing a cost
function for the new algorithm to pass to the optimizer, and running :meth:`find_minimum` method
of this class to carry out the optimization. Alternatively, all of the functions below can be
overridden to opt-out of this infrastructure but still meet the interface requirements.

.. note::

    This component has some function that is normally random. If you want to reproduce behavior
    then you should set the random number generator seed in the algorithm_globals
    (``qiskit.utils.algorithm_globals.random_seed = seed``).
