randomize an array in c code example

Example 1: How to generate a random array in c

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>

main(){
    int vet[1000], fre[50];
    int i;

    srand(time(NULL));

    for(i=0;i<1000;i++){
        vet[i]=(rand()%51);
    }

    for(i=0;i<1000;i++){
        printf("%d\n", vet[i]);
    }

    for(i=0;i<1000;i++){
        fre[vet[i]]=fre[vet[i]]+1;
    }

    for(i=0;i<51;i++){
        printf("The number %d  was generated %d times\n", i, fre[i]);
    }
}

Example 2: how to shuffle array in c

#include <stdlib.h>

/* Arrange the N elements of ARRAY in random order.
   Only effective if N is much smaller than RAND_MAX;
   if this may not be the case, use a better random
   number generator. */
void shuffle(int *array, size_t n)
{
    if (n > 1) 
    {
        size_t i;
        for (i = 0; i < n - 1; i++) 
        {
          size_t j = i + rand() / (RAND_MAX / (n - i) + 1);
          int t = array[j];
          array[j] = array[i];
          array[i] = t;
        }
    }
}
