Overview
Call randomElement()
to select a random element from an array or another collection. This example picks a name at random from an array:
let names = ["Zoey", "Chloe", "Amani", "Amaia"]
let randomName = names.randomElement()!
// randomName == "Amani"
This method is equivalent to calling randomElement(using:)
, passing in the system’s default random generator.
