在Swift 3中，如果你想洗牌一个数组，或者从一个数组中获得一个新的洗牌数组，AnyIterator可以帮助你。其思想是从数组中创建一个索引数组，用AnyIterator实例和swap(_:_:)函数洗牌这些索引，并将AnyIterator实例中的每个元素映射到数组的相应元素。

下面的Playground代码展示了它是如何工作的:

import Darwin // required for arc4random_uniform

let array = ["Jock", "Ellie", "Sue Ellen", "Bobby", "JR", "Pamela"]
var indexArray = Array(array.indices)
var index = indexArray.endIndex

let indexIterator: AnyIterator<Int> = AnyIterator {
    guard let nextIndex = indexArray.index(index, offsetBy: -1, limitedBy: indexArray.startIndex)
        else { return nil }

    index = nextIndex
    let randomIndex = Int(arc4random_uniform(UInt32(index)))
    if randomIndex != index {
        swap(&indexArray[randomIndex], &indexArray[index])
    }

    return indexArray[index]
}

let newArray = indexIterator.map { array[$0] }
print(newArray) // may print: ["Jock", "Ellie", "Sue Ellen", "JR", "Pamela", "Bobby"]

你可以重构前面的代码，并在Array扩展中创建一个shuffled()函数，以便从数组中获得一个新的洗牌数组:

import Darwin // required for arc4random_uniform

extension Array {

    func shuffled() -> Array<Element> {
        var indexArray = Array<Int>(indices)        
        var index = indexArray.endIndex

        let indexIterator = AnyIterator<Int> {
            guard let nextIndex = indexArray.index(index, offsetBy: -1, limitedBy: indexArray.startIndex)
                else { return nil }

            index = nextIndex                
            let randomIndex = Int(arc4random_uniform(UInt32(index)))
            if randomIndex != index {
                swap(&indexArray[randomIndex], &indexArray[index])
            }

            return indexArray[index]
        }

        return indexIterator.map { self[$0] }
    }

}

用法:

let array = ["Jock", "Ellie", "Sue Ellen", "Bobby", "JR", "Pamela"]
let newArray = array.shuffled()
print(newArray) // may print: ["Bobby", "Pamela", "Jock", "Ellie", "JR", "Sue Ellen"]

let emptyArray = [String]()
let newEmptyArray = emptyArray.shuffled()
print(newEmptyArray) // prints: []

作为前面代码的替代方案，您可以在Array扩展中创建一个shuffle()函数，以便在适当的位置洗牌数组:

import Darwin // required for arc4random_uniform

extension Array {

    mutating func shuffle() {
        var indexArray = Array<Int>(indices)
        var index = indexArray.endIndex

        let indexIterator = AnyIterator<Int> {
            guard let nextIndex = indexArray.index(index, offsetBy: -1, limitedBy: indexArray.startIndex)
                else { return nil }

            index = nextIndex                
            let randomIndex = Int(arc4random_uniform(UInt32(index)))
            if randomIndex != index {
                swap(&indexArray[randomIndex], &indexArray[index])
            }

            return indexArray[index]
        }

        self = indexIterator.map { self[$0] }
    }

}

用法:

var mutatingArray = ["Jock", "Ellie", "Sue Ellen", "Bobby", "JR", "Pamela"]
mutatingArray.shuffle()
print(mutatingArray) // may print ["Sue Ellen", "Pamela", "Jock", "Ellie", "Bobby", "JR"]

这是我所使用的:

func newShuffledArray(array:NSArray) -> NSArray {
    var mutableArray = array.mutableCopy() as! NSMutableArray
    var count = mutableArray.count
    if count>1 {
        for var i=count-1;i>0;--i{
            mutableArray.exchangeObjectAtIndex(i, withObjectAtIndex: Int(arc4random_uniform(UInt32(i+1))))
        }
    }
    return mutableArray as NSArray
}

这是最简单的方法。导入Gamplaykit到你的VC中，使用下面的代码。在Xcode 8中测试。

 import GameplayKit

 let array: NSArray = ["Jock", "Ellie", "Sue Ellen", "Bobby", "JR", "Pamela"]

 override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()

    print(array.shuffled())  
}

如果你想从数组中获得一个打乱的字符串，你可以使用下面的代码..

func suffleString() {

    let ShuffleArray = array.shuffled()

    suffleString.text = ShuffleArray.first as? String

    print(suffleString.text!)

}

这是我所使用的:

import GameplayKit

extension Collection {
    func shuffled() -> [Iterator.Element] {
        let shuffledArray = (self as? NSArray)?.shuffled()
        let outputArray = shuffledArray as? [Iterator.Element]
        return outputArray ?? []
    }
    mutating func shuffle() {
        if let selfShuffled = self.shuffled() as? Self {
            self = selfShuffled
        }
    }
}

// Usage example:

var numbers = [1,2,3,4,5]
numbers.shuffle()

print(numbers) // output example: [2, 3, 5, 4, 1]

print([10, "hi", 9.0].shuffled()) // output example: [hi, 10, 9]

这是一些在playground上运行的代码。你不需要在实际的Xcode项目中导入Darwin。

import darwin

var a = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7]

func shuffle<ItemType>(item1: ItemType, item2: ItemType) -> Bool {
    return drand48() > 0.5
}

sort(a, shuffle)

println(a)

这里有一些可能更短的内容:

sorted(a) {_, _ in arc4random() % 2 == 0}
