Swift version: 5.6
Swift’s arrays, sets, and dictionaries have a randomElement()
method that returns one random item from the collection. Because your collection might be empty, the return type will be optional and you’ll get back nil
if the collection had nothing in it.
For example:
let numbers = [100, 80, 85]
if let winner = numbers.randomElement() {
print("The winning number is \(winner).")
}
