+
+/// A distribution using weighted sampling to pick a discretely selected
+/// item.
+///
+/// Sampling a `WeightedIndex` distribution returns the index of a randomly
+/// selected element from the iterator used when the `WeightedIndex` was
+/// created. The chance of a given element being picked is proportional to the
+/// value of the element. The weights can use any type `X` for which an
+/// implementation of [`Uniform<X>`] exists.
+///
+/// # Performance
+///
+/// A `WeightedIndex<X>` contains a `Vec<X>` and a [`Uniform<X>`] and so its
+/// size is the sum of the size of those objects, possibly plus some alignment.
+///
+/// Creating a `WeightedIndex<X>` will allocate enough space to hold `N - 1`
+/// weights of type `X`, where `N` is the number of weights. However, since
+/// `Vec` doesn't guarantee a particular growth strategy, additional memory
+/// might be allocated but not used. Since the `WeightedIndex` object also
+/// contains, this might cause additional allocations, though for primitive
+/// types, ['Uniform<X>`] doesn't allocate any memory.
+///
+/// Time complexity of sampling from `WeightedIndex` is `O(log N)` where
+/// `N` is the number of weights.
+///
+/// Sampling from `WeightedIndex` will result in a single call to
+/// [`Uniform<X>::sample`], which typically will request a single value from
+/// the underlying [`RngCore`], though the exact number depends on the
+/// implementaiton of [`Uniform<X>::sample`].
+///
+/// # Example
+///
+/// ```
+/// use rand::prelude::*;
+/// use rand::distributions::WeightedIndex;
+///
+/// let choices = ['a', 'b', 'c'];
+/// let weights = [2, 1, 1];
+/// let dist = WeightedIndex::new(&weights).unwrap();
+/// let mut rng = thread_rng();
+/// for _ in 0..100 {
+/// // 50% chance to print 'a', 25% chance to print 'b', 25% chance to print 'c'
+/// println!("{}", choices[dist.sample(&mut rng)]);
+/// }
+///
+/// let items = [('a', 0), ('b', 3), ('c', 7)];
+/// let dist2 = WeightedIndex::new(items.iter().map(|item| item.1)).unwrap();
+/// for _ in 0..100 {
+/// // 0% chance to print 'a', 30% chance to print 'b', 70% chance to print 'c'
+/// println!("{}", items[dist2.sample(&mut rng)].0);
+/// }
