### sampleSize
Gets `n` random elements at unique keys from `array` up to the size of `array`.
Shuffle the array using the [Fisher-Yates algorithm](https://github.com/chalarangelo/30-seconds-of-code#shuffle).
Use `Array.slice()` to get the first `n` elements.
Omit the second argument, `n` to get only one element at random from the array.
```js
const sampleSize = ([...arr],n=1) => {
let m = arr.length;
while (m) {
const i = Math.floor(Math.random() * m--);
[arr[m], arr[i]] = [arr[i], arr[m]];
}
return arr.slice(0,n)
}
```
```js
sampleSize([1,2,3],2); // [3,1]
sampleSize([1,2,3],4); // [2,3,1]
```
