class Array
# Backport of Array#sample based on Marc-Andre Lafortune's https://github.com/marcandre/backports/
# Returns a random element or +n+ random elements from the array.
- # If the array is empty and +n+ is nil, returns <tt>nil</tt>. if +n+ is passed, returns <tt>[]</tt>.
+ # If the array is empty and +n+ is nil, returns <tt>nil</tt>.
+ # If +n+ is passed and its value is less than 0, it raises an +ArgumentError+ exception.
+ # If the value of +n+ is equal or greater than 0 it returns <tt>[]</tt>.
