From: "rubyFeedback (robert heiler) via ruby-core" Date: 2023-11-05T13:44:47+00:00 Subject: [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. ---------------------------------------- Feature #19987: add sample method to Range https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19987#change-105161 * Author: horv77@protonmail.com (Andras Horvath) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal ---------------------------------------- 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 -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ ______________________________________________ ruby-core mailing list -- ruby-core@ml.ruby-lang.org To unsubscribe send an email to ruby-core-leave@ml.ruby-lang.org ruby-core info -- https://ml.ruby-lang.org/mailman3/postorius/lists/ruby-core.ml.ruby-lang.org/
