how to randomize an array c# code example

Example 1: c# shuffle string array

public class Randomizer
{
    public static void Randomize<T>(T[] items)
    {
        Random rand = new Random();

        // For each spot in the array, pick
        // a random item to swap into that spot.
        for (int i = 0; i < items.Length - 1; i++)
        {
            int j = rand.Next(i, items.Length);
            T temp = items[i];
            items[i] = items[j];
            items[j] = temp;
        }
    }
}

Example 2: randomize through array in C#

// answer coded by 'mdb' and edited later on by 'Caius Jard'

Random rnd = new Random();
string[] MyRandomArray = MyArray.OrderBy(x => rnd.Next()).ToArray();

Example 3: randomize through array in C#

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;

namespace whatever_you_want
{
	public class Randomizer
    {
    	public static T Randomize<T>(List<T> array)
        {
        	Random rnd = new Random();
          	return array[rnd.Next(0, array.Count)];
        }
    }
}
