randomly shift the order of an array javascript code example

Example 1: javascript randomly shuffle array

function randomArrayShuffle(array) {
  var currentIndex = array.length, temporaryValue, randomIndex;
  while (0 !== currentIndex) {
    randomIndex = Math.floor(Math.random() * currentIndex);
    currentIndex -= 1;
    temporaryValue = array[currentIndex];
    array[currentIndex] = array[randomIndex];
    array[randomIndex] = temporaryValue;
  }
  return array;
}
var alphabet=["a","b","c","d","e"];
randomArrayShuffle(alphabet); 
//alphabet is now shuffled randomly = ["d", "c", "b", "e", "a"]

Example 2: how to randomize an array

const getShuffledArr = arr => {
    const newArr = arr.slice()
    for (let i = newArr.length - 1; i > 0; i--) {
        const rand = Math.floor(Math.random() * (i + 1));
        [newArr[i], newArr[rand]] = [newArr[rand], newArr[i]];
    }
    return newArr
};
