[ruby-core:115249] [Ruby master Feature#19987] add sample method to Range

Issue #19987 has been updated by rubyFeedback (robert heiler).


I think conceptually .first() is not the same as .sample(). At the least when I read
it, I would assume that .first() yields the first five elements (if the argument is
5), whereas .sample() should probably return 5 random elements. Not sure if others
read it the same way, but that was my initial impression.

Dear Devs, I'd like to suggest a change. Since the following works:

(1..99).first(5)

Therefore this one could be logical and useful to work:

(1..99).sample(5)

Thanks,
Andras
