This is a Ruby tree! It shows every object from the Ruby Programming Language in a tree format.
# Array.sample (from ruby core) --- array.sample(random: Random) -> object array.sample(n, random: Random) -> new_ary --- Returns random elements from `self`. When no arguments are given, returns a random element from `self`: a = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10] a.sample # => 3 a.sample # => 8 If `self` is empty, returns `nil`. When argument `n` is given, returns a new Array containing `n` random elements from `self`: a.sample(3) # => [8, 9, 2] a.sample(6) # => [9, 6, 10, 3, 1, 4] Returns no more than `a.size` elements (because no new duplicates are introduced): a.sample(a.size * 2) # => [6, 4, 1, 8, 5, 9, 10, 2, 3, 7] But `self` may contain duplicates: a = [1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 3] a.sample(a.size * 2) # => [1, 1, 3, 2, 1, 2] The argument `n` must be a non-negative numeric value. The order of the result array is unrelated to the order of `self`. Returns a new empty Array if `self` is empty. The optional `random` argument will be used as the random number generator: a = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10] a.sample(random: Random.new(1)) #=> 6 a.sample(4, random: Random.new(1)) #=> [6, 10, 9, 2]
