在Java中:

Set<Integer> set = new LinkedHashSet<Integer>(3);
set.add(1);
set.add(2);
set.add(3);

Random rand = new Random(System.currentTimeMillis());
int[] setArray = (int[]) set.toArray();
for (int i = 0; i < 10; ++i) {
    System.out.println(setArray[rand.nextInt(set.size())]);
}

对于番石榴，我们可以做得比霍斯的答案更好一点:

public static E random(Set<E> set) {
  int index = random.nextInt(set.size();
  if (set instanceof ImmutableSet) {
    // ImmutableSet.asList() is O(1), as is .get() on the returned list
    return set.asList().get(index);
  }
  return Iterables.get(set, index);
}

int size = myHashSet.size();
int item = new Random().nextInt(size); // In real life, the Random object should be rather more shared than this
int i = 0;
for(Object obj : myhashSet)
{
    if (i == item)
        return obj;
    i++;
}

在Java 8中:

static <E> E getRandomSetElement(Set<E> set) {
    return set.stream().skip(new Random().nextInt(set.size())).findFirst().orElse(null);
}

既然你说“其他语言的解决方案也欢迎”，下面是Python的版本:

>>> import random
>>> random.choice([1,2,3,4,5,6])
3
>>> random.choice([1,2,3,4,5,6])
4

如果你真的只想从Set中选择“任意”对象，而不保证随机性，最简单的方法是使用迭代器返回的第一个对象。

    Set<Integer> s = ...
    Iterator<Integer> it = s.iterator();
    if(it.hasNext()){
        Integer i = it.next();
        // i is a "random" object from set
    }
