Shuffle the array elements
Shuffling is a procedure used to randomize an array element. Similar way suppose we are given an array which contains n elements. Our goal is to randomize the elements of this array in efficient manner. Lets see few examples.
Example 1
arr = [1 , 0 , -3 , 8 , 7 , 3 , 9 , 4 , 2 , 5 , 10 , 6]
// Shuffle array
Output
[6, -3, 5, 9, 2, 7, 0, 4, 3, 8, 1, 10]
[10, 7, 1, 2, 9, -3, 3, 5, 0, 6, 8, 4]
[4, 2, 5, 6, 1, -3, 7, 3, 0, 10, 8, 9]
etc
-------------------------
Example 2
arr = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'x', 'y', 'z']
output
['z', 'y', 'b', 'x', 'a', 'c']
['z', 'b', 'x', 'y', 'a', 'c']
['x', 'b', 'a', 'c', 'y', 'z']
etc
Result can be any order in given array and result are modified (reflect) to actual array. There can be many ways to do this work, but the effective way is to swap elements and change the order. In the example below, the approach of finding a random index and swapping its element is implementing.
-
1) Shuffle the elements of array in java
2) Shuffle the elements of array in c#
3) Shuffle an array in node js
4) Shuffle an array in python
5) Shuffle an array in ruby
6) Shuffle an array in scala
7) Shuffle an array in swift
8) Shuffle an array in kotlin
9) Shuffle an array in c
10) Shuffle an array in c++
11) Shuffle an array in golang
12) Shuffle the elements of array in vb.net
13) Shuffle the elements of array in php
Time complexity analysis in above solution is O(n), n indicates number of array elements. And may be resulting array is similar to given array (But that is very rarely).
