How to pick random agents from an agentset to create a new agenset?

Question

I have an agent-set of all the turtles. I want to randomly pick 5 turtles from this agent-set and assign a value of 1 to them. The other 5, ones that were not selected should take the value of 0.

I tried using the random function but it's not working.

Thanks for the simple solution. I was unnecessarily making it complex. – Raj Mar 24 '16 at 23:53
