kindness

Methods for choosing random elements from an iterator.

Includes choose_item(), choose_max(), choose_max_by(), choose_max_by_key(), choose_min(), choose_min_by(), choose_min_by_key()

no_std by default. The std feature unlocks the choose_unique() and choose_unique_by_key() methods.

The name of the crate is a pun. "Random max of kindness". I'm sorry.

This crate works with Cargo with a Cargo.toml like:

[dependencies]
kindness = "0.5.0"
rand = "0.9.0"

Getting started

use kindness::*;
use rand::SeedableRng;

fn main() {
    let mut rng = rand::rngs::StdRng::seed_from_u64(123);
    let m =[3,2,1,2,3].iter().choose_max(&mut rng).unwrap();
    assert_eq!(*m, 3)
}
