在c#中随机化泛型列表顺序的最佳方法是什么?我在一个列表中有一个有限的75个数字集,我想随机分配一个顺序,以便为彩票类型的应用程序绘制它们。

I'm bit surprised by all the clunky versions of this simple algorithm here. Fisher-Yates (or Knuth shuffle) is bit tricky but very compact. Why is it tricky? Because your need to pay attention to whether your random number generator r(a,b) returns value where b is inclusive or exclusive. I've also edited Wikipedia description so people don't blindly follow pseudocode there and create hard to detect bugs. For .Net, Random.Next(a,b) returns number exclusive of b so without further ado, here's how it can be implemented in C#/.Net:

public static void Shuffle<T>(this IList<T> list, Random rnd)
{
    for(var i=list.Count; i > 0; i--)
        list.Swap(0, rnd.Next(0, i));
}

public static void Swap<T>(this IList<T> list, int i, int j)
{
    var temp = list[i];
    list[i] = list[j];
    list[j] = temp;
}

试试这段代码。

    public static List<T> Randomize<T>(List<T> list)
    {
        List<T> randomizedList = new List<T>();
        Random rnd = new Random();
        while (list.Count > 0)
        {
            int index = rnd.Next(0, list.Count); //pick a random item from the master list
            randomizedList.Add(list[index]); //place it at the end of the randomized list
            list.RemoveAt(index);
        }
        return randomizedList;
    }

解决这类问题的一个非常简单的方法是在列表中使用一些随机的元素交换。

在伪代码中是这样的:

do 
    r1 = randomPositionInList()
    r2 = randomPositionInList()
    swap elements at index r1 and index r2 
for a certain number of times

这里是Fisher-Yates shuffle的实现,允许指定返回的元素数量;因此,在获取所需数量的元素之前,没有必要首先对整个集合进行排序。

交换元素的顺序与默认值相反;从第一个元素到最后一个元素,因此检索集合的一个子集与洗牌整个集合产生相同的(部分)序列:

collection.TakeRandom(5).SequenceEqual(collection.Shuffle().Take(5)); // true

该算法基于Durstenfeld在维基百科上的(现代)Fisher-Yates shuffle。

public static IList<T> TakeRandom<T>(this IEnumerable<T> collection, int count, Random random) => shuffle(collection, count, random);
public static IList<T> Shuffle<T>(this IEnumerable<T> collection, Random random) => shuffle(collection, null, random);
private static IList<T> shuffle<T>(IEnumerable<T> collection, int? take, Random random)
{
    var a = collection.ToArray();
    var n = a.Length;
    if (take <= 0 || take > n) throw new ArgumentException("Invalid number of elements to return.");
    var end = take ?? n;
    for (int i = 0; i < end; i++)
    {
        var j = random.Next(i, n);
        (a[i], a[j]) = (a[j], a[i]);
    }

    if (take.HasValue) return new ArraySegment<T>(a, 0, take.Value);
    return a;
}

您可以使用这个简单的扩展方法来实现这一点

public static class IEnumerableExtensions
{

    public static IEnumerable<t> Randomize<t>(this IEnumerable<t> target)
    {
        Random r = new Random();

        return target.OrderBy(x=>(r.Next()));
    }        
}

你可以通过下面的步骤来使用它

// use this on any collection that implements IEnumerable!
// List, Array, HashSet, Collection, etc

List<string> myList = new List<string> { "hello", "random", "world", "foo", "bar", "bat", "baz" };

foreach (string s in myList.Randomize())
{
    Console.WriteLine(s);
}

我通常使用:

var list = new List<T> ();
fillList (list);
var randomizedList = new List<T> ();
var rnd = new Random ();
while (list.Count != 0)
{
    var index = rnd.Next (0, list.Count);
    randomizedList.Add (list [index]);
    list.RemoveAt (index);
}
