A new shuffle would give you a new ordering. What his code does is place the any element into slot 1, then any remaining element into slot 2, etc. Actually, no. Fisher-Yates is a method for shuffling an already-existing array. So it requires two loops: one to generate the array, and another to shuffle it. My method doesn't do that; it shuffles the array WHILE creating it, all in one loop. In the Wikipedia article cited above, that's called "The Inside-Out Algorithm". The article unfortunately gives no name for its discoverer, nor date for its discovery. <0|ΙΈ|0> -Joe- |
