how to shuffle 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: c# shuffle

private static Random rng = new Random();  

public static void Shuffle<T>(this IList<T> list)  
{  
    int n = list.Count;  
    while (n > 1) {  
        n--;  
        int k = rng.Next(n + 1);  
        T value = list[k];  
        list[k] = list[n];  
        list[n] = value;  
    }  
}
