Update Random replaces a random value in a collection.

Overview

update_random replaces one randomly selected value in a collection.

items | [1, 2, 3]

:update_random!(items, 99)

items | [1, 2, 3]

:update_random!(items, 99)

Example result:

[1, 99, 3]

[1, 99, 3]

The replaced value may be different each time.

Like most collection utilities, update_random follows Goblin's bang (!) rules.
