pub struct Selector { /* private fields */ }
Expand description

A value for picking random values out of iterators.

This is, in a sense, a more flexible variant of Index in that it can operate on arbitrary IntoIterator values.

Initially, the selection is roughly uniform, with a very slight bias towards items earlier in the iterator.

Shrinking causes the selection to move toward items earlier in the iterator, ultimately settling on the very first, but this currently happens in a very haphazard way that may fail to find the earliest failing input.

Example

Generate a non-indexable collection and a value to pick out of it.

use proptest::prelude::*;

proptest! {
    #[test]
    fn my_test(
        names in prop::collection::hash_set("[a-z]+", 10..20),
        selector in any::<prop::sample::Selector>()
    ) {
        println!("Selected name: {}", selector.select(&names));
        // Test stuff...
    }
}

Implementations

Pick a random element from iterable it.

The selection is unaffected by the elements themselves, and is dependent only on the actual length of it.

it is always iterated completely.

Panics

Panics if it has no elements.

Pick a random element from iterable it.

Returns None if it is empty.

The selection is unaffected by the elements themselves, and is dependent only on the actual length of it.
