# # `random()`

The random method returns a random item from the collection:

    const collection = collect([1, 2, 3, 4, 5]);

    collection.random();

    //=> 4 (retrieved randomly)

You may optionally pass an integer to random to specify how many items you would like to randomly retrieve. A collection of items is always returned when explicitly passing the number of items you wish to receive:

    const random = collection.random(3);

    //=> Collection { items: [ 5, 3, 4 ] } (retrieved randomly)

    const random = collection.random(1);

    //=> Collection { items: [ 3 ] } (retrieved randomly)

    random.all();

    //=> [3]
