// And now just pick the random item from weightedItems array.

However, as you may see, this approach may require a lot of memory, in case if the objects are heavy, and in case if we have a lot of them to repeat in `weightedItems` list.
However, as you may see, this approach may require a lot of memory, in case if we have a lot of items to repeat in `weightedItems` list. Think of it as if you would need to repeat a string like `"some-random-string"` (`18` bytes) a ten million times. You will need to allocate around `180Mb` of additional memory space just for this array.
The **more efficient approach** would be to:
