# Function rand::seq::sample_indices [−] [src]

    pub fn sample_indices<R>(
        rng: &mut R,
        length: usize,
        amount: usize
    ) -> Vec<usize> where
        R: Rng,

Randomly sample exactly `amount` indices from `0..length`.

The values are non-repeating and in random order.

This implementation uses `O(amount)` time and memory.

This method is used internally by the slice sampling methods, but it can sometimes be useful to have the indices themselves so this is provided as an alternative.

Panics if `amount > length`

## Search Tricks

Prefix searches with a type followed by a colon (e.g. `fn:`) to restrict the search to a given type.

Accepted types are: `fn`, `mod`, `struct`, `enum`, `trait`, `type`, `macro`, and `const`.

Search functions by type signature (e.g. `vec -> usize` or `* -> vec`)
