Creates an array populated with items chosen at random from the provided set of choices.

public:
generic <typename T>
 cli::array <T> ^ GetItems(ReadOnlySpan<T> choices, int length);
public T[] GetItems<T>(ReadOnlySpan<T> choices, int length);
member this.GetItems : ReadOnlySpan<'T> * int -> 'T[]
Public Function GetItems(Of T) (choices As ReadOnlySpan(Of T), length As Integer) As T()

Type Parameters

T

The type of array.

Parameters

choices
ReadOnlySpan<T>

The items to use to populate the array.

length
Int32

The length of array to return.

Returns

T[]

An array populated with random items.

Exceptions

choices is empty.

length is not zero or a positive number.
