|  | * Emits the most recently emitted value from the source Observable within | 
|  | * periodic time intervals. |

|  | *  | 
|  | * | 
|  | * `sampleTime` periodically looks at the source Observable and emits whichever | 
|  | * value it has most recently emitted since the previous sampling, unless the | 
|  | * source has not emitted anything since the previous sampling. The sampling | 
|  | * happens periodically in time every `period` milliseconds (or the time unit | 
|  | * defined by the optional `scheduler` argument). The sampling starts as soon as | 
|  | * the output Observable is subscribed. | 
|  | * | 
|  | * ## Example | 
|  | * Every second, emit the most recent click at most once | 
|  | * ```ts | 
|  | * import { fromEvent } from 'rxjs'; | 
|  | * import { sampleTime } from 'rxjs/operators'; | 
|  | * | 
|  | * const clicks = fromEvent(document, 'click'); | 
|  | * const result = clicks.pipe(sampleTime(1000)); | 
|  | * result.subscribe(x => console.log(x)); | 
|  | * ``` |

|  | * @see {@link sample} | 
|  | * @see {@link throttleTime} | 
|  | * | 
|  | * @param {number} period The sampling period expressed in milliseconds or the | 
|  | * time unit determined internally by the optional `scheduler`. | 
|  | * @param {SchedulerLike} [scheduler=async] The {@link SchedulerLike} to use for | 
|  | * managing the timers that handle the sampling. | 
|  | * @return {Observable<T>} An Observable that emits the results of sampling the | 
|  | * values emitted by the source Observable at the specified time interval. | 
|  | * @method sampleTime | 
|  | * @owner Observable |
