randomize items in array code example
Example 1: 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
};
Example 2: randomize an array
let unshuffled = ['hello', 'a', 't', 'q', 1, 2, 3, {cats: true}]
let shuffled = unshuffled
.map((a) => ({sort: Math.random(), value: a}))
.sort((a, b) => a.sort - b.sort)
.map((a) => a.value)
