how to use the sample function from the underscore library in javascript

You can use the _.sample() function in the Underscore library to randomly sample an element from a collection. Here's an example:

index.tsx
// Import the underscore library
const _ = require('underscore');

// Define a collection
const numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];

// Use the _.sample() function to randomly sample an element from the collection
const randomElement = _.sample(numbers);

// Print the randomly sampled element
console.log(randomElement);

In the code above, we import the Underscore library and define a collection of numbers. We then use the _.sample() function to sample a random element from the numbers array, and print the sampled element to the console.

You can also use _.sample() to sample multiple elements from a collection by specifying the number of elements to sample as the second argument:

index.tsx
const _ = require('underscore');

const numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];

// Sample two elements from the numbers array
const randomElements = _.sample(numbers, 2);

console.log(randomElements);

In this example, we sample two random elements from the numbers array and store them in an array called randomElements. We then print randomElements to the console, which will contain two randomly sampled elements from the numbers array.
