Sample a DataFrame randomly with seed

By setting seed when using sample, you can ensure that the random sampling is reproducible.

{% tabs %} {% tab title="Node" %}

const dfd = require("danfojs-node")

async function load_data() {
    let data = {
        Name: ["Apples", "Mango", "Banana", "Pear"],
        Count: [21, 5, 30, 10],
        Price: [200, 300, 40, 250],
    };

    let df = new dfd.DataFrame(data);
    let s_df = await df.sample(3, { seed: 2 });
    s_df.print();
