rando

random item function in ruby

similar to Rando but in ruby

# install lib
bundle add rando

rando = Rando.new

rando.rando()                       # a floating-point number between 0 and 1 (could be exactly 0, but never exactly 1)  
rando.rando(5)                      # an integer between 0 and 5 (could be 0 or 5)  
rando.rando(5, 10)                  # a random integer between 5 and 10 (could be 5 or 10)  
rando.rando(5, "float")             # a floating-point number between 0 and 5 (could be exactly 0, but never exactly 5)  
rando.rando(5, 10, "float")         # a floating-point number between 5 and 10 (could be exactly 5, but never exactly 10)  
rando.rando(true, false)            # either true or false  
rando.rando(["a", "b"])             # {index:..., value:...} object representing a value of the provided array OR false if array is empty  
rando.rando({a: 1, b: 2})           # {key:..., value:...} object representing a property of the provided object OR false if object has no properties
rando.rando("Gee willikers!")       # a character from the provided string OR false if the string is empty. Reoccurring characters will naturally form a more likely return value  
rando.rando(nil)                    # ANY invalid arguments return false  

rando.rando_sequence(5)              # an array of integers from 0 through 5 in random order  
rando.rando_sequence(5, 10)          # an array of integers from 5 through 10 in random order  
rando.rando_sequence(["a", "b"])     # an array of {index:..., value:...} objects representing the values of the provided array in random order  
rando.rando_sequence({a: 1, b: 2})   # an array of {key:..., value:...} objects representing the properties of the provided object in random order     
rando.rando_sequence("Good gravy!")  # an array of the characters of the provided string in random order  
rando.rando_sequence(nil)            # ANY invalid arguments return false
