how to use the samplesize function from lodash in javascript

To use the sampleSize function from lodash in JavaScript, you first need to install the lodash library. You can do this using npm:

index.tsx
npm install lodash
19 chars
2 lines

Once you have installed lodash, you can include it in your script like this:

index.tsx
const _ = require('lodash');
29 chars
2 lines

Then, you can use the sampleSize function to randomly sample a specified number of elements from an array. The function takes two arguments: the array to sample, and the number of elements to sample.

For example, to sample 3 random elements from an array of numbers, you could do the following:

index.tsx
const numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10];
const sample = _.sampleSize(numbers, 3);
console.log(sample);
// Output: [6, 2, 7]
132 chars
5 lines

In this example, the _.sampleSize function selects three random elements from the numbers array and returns them in a new array. The resulting sample will contain a random subset of the original numbers array.
