public class ShuffleArray {
public static void shuffleArray(int[] a) {
    int n = a.length;
    Random random = new Random();
    random.nextInt();
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
        int change = i + random.nextInt(n - i);
        swap(a, i, change);
    }
}

private static void swap(int[] a, int i, int change) {
    int helper = a[i];
    a[i] = a[change];
    a[change] = helper;
}

public static void main(String[] args) {
    int[] a = new int[] { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 };
    shuffleArray(a);
    for (int i : a) {
        System.out.println(i);
    }
}
}

类似的情况没有使用swap b

    Random r = new Random();
    int n = solutionArray.length;
    List<Integer> arr =  Arrays.stream(solutionArray)
                               .boxed()
                               .collect(Collectors.toList());
    for (int i = 0; i < n-1; i++) {
        solutionArray[i] = arr.remove(r.nextInt(arr.size())); // randomize based on size
    }
    solutionArray[n-1] = arr.get(0);

这是knuth shuffle算法。

public class Knuth { 

    // this class should not be instantiated
    private Knuth() { }

    /**
     * Rearranges an array of objects in uniformly random order
     * (under the assumption that <tt>Math.random()</tt> generates independent
     * and uniformly distributed numbers between 0 and 1).
     * @param a the array to be shuffled
     */
    public static void shuffle(Object[] a) {
        int n = a.length;
        for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
            // choose index uniformly in [i, n-1]
            int r = i + (int) (Math.random() * (n - i));
            Object swap = a[r];
            a[r] = a[i];
            a[i] = swap;
        }
    }

    /**
     * Reads in a sequence of strings from standard input, shuffles
     * them, and prints out the results.
     */
    public static void main(String[] args) {

        // read in the data
        String[] a = StdIn.readAllStrings();

        // shuffle the array
        Knuth.shuffle(a);

        // print results.
        for (int i = 0; i < a.length; i++)
            StdOut.println(a[i]);
    }
}

下面是一个有效的Fisher-Yates shuffle数组函数:

private static void shuffleArray(int[] array)
{
    int index;
    Random random = new Random();
    for (int i = array.length - 1; i > 0; i--)
    {
        index = random.nextInt(i + 1);
        if (index != i)
        {
            array[index] ^= array[i];
            array[i] ^= array[index];
            array[index] ^= array[i];
        }
    }
}

or

private static void shuffleArray(int[] array)
{
    int index, temp;
    Random random = new Random();
    for (int i = array.length - 1; i > 0; i--)
    {
        index = random.nextInt(i + 1);
        temp = array[index];
        array[index] = array[i];
        array[i] = temp;
    }
}

这是另一种洗牌的方法

public List<Integer> shuffleArray(List<Integer> a) {
    List<Integer> b = new ArrayList<Integer>();
    while (a.size() != 0) {
        int arrayIndex = (int) (Math.random() * (a.size()));
        b.add(a.get(arrayIndex));
        a.remove(a.get(arrayIndex));
    }
    return b;
}

从原始列表中选择一个随机数，并将其保存在另一个列表中。然后从原始列表中删除该数字。原始列表的大小将继续减小1，直到所有元素都移动到新列表中。

下面是一个使用Apache Commons Math 3的解决方案。X(仅适用于int[]数组):

MathArrays.shuffle(array);

http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-math/javadocs/api-3.6.1/org/apache/commons/math3/util/MathArrays.html shuffle (int [])

另外，Apache Commons Lang 3.6为ArrayUtils类引入了新的shuffle方法(用于对象和任何基本类型)。

ArrayUtils.shuffle(array);
