How to select random vertices in Gremlin

[Khaled Bakhit]

I'm still at my earlier stages with graphs and gremlin.

Is it possible to randomly select graph vertices in Gremlin?

Consider the following pipeline that gets the cars owned by a user's friend:

u.out('Friend')[0..9].out('Drives').map()

But this code is only executed against the first 10 friends every time. How can I make the selection random efficiently?

Thank you for your time :)

Others may suggest betters ways, but you could code something like:

n = (Math.random()*100).round()
u.out('Friend')[0..n].out('Drives').map()

Maybe start by reading the docs. There's a step called random() that helps you out in this scenario.

Cheers,

Daniel
