你可以使用Swift内置的random()函数以及扩展:

extension Array {
    func sample() -> Element {
        let randomIndex = Int(rand()) % count
        return self[randomIndex]
    }
}

let array = [1, 2, 3, 4]

array.sample() // 2
array.sample() // 2
array.sample() // 3
array.sample() // 3

array.sample() // 1
array.sample() // 1
array.sample() // 3
array.sample() // 1

Swift 4.2及以上版本

新的推荐方法是Collection协议上的内置方法:randomElement()。它返回一个可选选项，以避免前面假设的空情况。

let array = ["Frodo", "Samwise", "Merry", "Pippin"]
print(array.randomElement()!) // Using ! knowing I have array.count > 0

如果你不创建数组，也不保证计数> 0，你应该这样做:

if let randomElement = array.randomElement() { 
    print(randomElement)
}

Swift 4.1及以下版本

为了回答你的问题，你可以这样做来实现随机数组选择:

let array = ["Frodo", "Samwise", "Merry", "Pippin"]
let randomIndex = Int(arc4random_uniform(UInt32(array.count)))
print(array[randomIndex])

演员阵容很难看，但我相信他们是必须的，除非有人有别的办法。

你可以使用Swift内置的random()函数以及扩展:

extension Array {
    func sample() -> Element {
        let randomIndex = Int(rand()) % count
        return self[randomIndex]
    }
}

let array = [1, 2, 3, 4]

array.sample() // 2
array.sample() // 2
array.sample() // 3
array.sample() // 3

array.sample() // 1
array.sample() // 1
array.sample() // 3
array.sample() // 1

跟随其他人的回答，但有Swift 2支持。

快1.倍

extension Array {
    func sample() -> T {
        let index = Int(arc4random_uniform(UInt32(self.count)))
        return self[index]
    }
}

快2.倍

extension Array {
    func sample() -> Element {
        let index = Int(arc4random_uniform(UInt32(self.count)))
        return self[index]
    }
}

例如:

let arr = [2, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31]
let randomSample = arr.sample()

在Swift 2.2中，这可以被概括，这样我们就有:

UInt.random
UInt8.random
UInt16.random
UInt32.random
UInt64.random
UIntMax.random

// closed intervals:

(-3...3).random
(Int.min...Int.max).random

// and collections, which return optionals since they can be empty:

(1..<4).sample
[1,2,3].sample
"abc".characters.sample
["a": 1, "b": 2, "c": 3].sample

首先，实现UnsignedIntegerTypes的静态随机属性:

import Darwin

func sizeof <T> (_: () -> T) -> Int { // sizeof return type without calling
    return sizeof(T.self)
}

let ARC4Foot: Int = sizeof(arc4random)

extension UnsignedIntegerType {
    static var max: Self { // sadly `max` is not required by the protocol
        return ~0
    }
    static var random: Self {
        let foot = sizeof(Self)
        guard foot > ARC4Foot else {
            return numericCast(arc4random() & numericCast(max))
        }
        var r = UIntMax(arc4random())
        for i in 1..<(foot / ARC4Foot) {
            r |= UIntMax(arc4random()) << UIntMax(8 * ARC4Foot * i)
        }
        return numericCast(r)
    }
}

然后，对于带有UnsignedIntegerType边界的closedinterval:

extension ClosedInterval where Bound : UnsignedIntegerType {
    var random: Bound {
        guard start > 0 || end < Bound.max else { return Bound.random }
        return start + (Bound.random % (end - start + 1))
    }
}

然后(稍微复杂一点)，对于带SignedIntegerType边界的closedinterval(使用下面进一步描述的辅助方法):

extension ClosedInterval where Bound : SignedIntegerType {
    var random: Bound {
        let foot = sizeof(Bound)
        let distance = start.unsignedDistanceTo(end)
        guard foot > 4 else { // optimisation: use UInt32.random if sufficient
            let off: UInt32
            if distance < numericCast(UInt32.max) {
                off = UInt32.random % numericCast(distance + 1)
            } else {
                off = UInt32.random
            }
            return numericCast(start.toIntMax() + numericCast(off))
        }
        guard distance < UIntMax.max else {
            return numericCast(IntMax(bitPattern: UIntMax.random))
        }
        let off = UIntMax.random % (distance + 1)
        let x = (off + start.unsignedDistanceFromMin).plusMinIntMax
        return numericCast(x)
    }
}

．.． 其中unsignedDistanceTo, unsignedDistanceFromMin和plusMinIntMax helper方法可以实现如下:

extension SignedIntegerType {
    func unsignedDistanceTo(other: Self) -> UIntMax {
        let _self = self.toIntMax()
        let other = other.toIntMax()
        let (start, end) = _self < other ? (_self, other) : (other, _self)
        if start == IntMax.min && end == IntMax.max {
            return UIntMax.max
        }
        if start < 0 && end >= 0 {
            let s = start == IntMax.min ? UIntMax(Int.max) + 1 : UIntMax(-start)
            return s + UIntMax(end)
        }
        return UIntMax(end - start)
    }
    var unsignedDistanceFromMin: UIntMax {
        return IntMax.min.unsignedDistanceTo(self.toIntMax())
    }
}

extension UIntMax {
    var plusMinIntMax: IntMax {
        if self > UIntMax(IntMax.max) { return IntMax(self - UIntMax(IntMax.max) - 1) }
        else { return IntMax.min + IntMax(self) }
    }
}

最后，对于索引所在的所有集合。距离== Int:

extension CollectionType where Index.Distance == Int {
    var sample: Generator.Element? {
        if isEmpty { return nil }
        let end = UInt(count) - 1
        let add = (0...end).random
        let idx = startIndex.advancedBy(Int(add))
        return self[idx]
    }
}

．.． 可以对整数范围进行一些优化:

extension Range where Element : SignedIntegerType {
    var sample: Element? {
        guard startIndex < endIndex else { return nil }
        let i: ClosedInterval = startIndex...endIndex.predecessor()
        return i.random
    }
}

extension Range where Element : UnsignedIntegerType {
    var sample: Element? {
        guard startIndex < endIndex else { return nil }
        let i: ClosedInterval = startIndex...endIndex.predecessor()
        return i.random
    }
}

检查空数组的替代功能实现。

func randomArrayItem<T>(array: [T]) -> T? {
  if array.isEmpty { return nil }
  let randomIndex = Int(arc4random_uniform(UInt32(array.count)))
  return array[randomIndex]
}

randomArrayItem([1,2,3])
