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。


当前回答

想法是获得匿名对象的项目和随机顺序,然后按此顺序重新排序项目,并返回值:

var result = items.Select(x => new { value = x, order = rnd.Next() })
            .OrderBy(x => x.order).Select(x => x.value).ToList()

IEnumerable扩展方法:

public static IEnumerable<T> Randomize<T>(this IEnumerable<T> source)
{
    Random rnd = new Random();
    return source.OrderBy<T, int>((item) => rnd.Next());
}

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);
}

使用基于Fisher-Yates Shuffle的扩展方法Shuffle任意(I)List:

private static Random rng = new Random();  

public static void Shuffle<T>(this IList<T> list)  
{  
    int n = list.Count;  
    while (n > 1) {  
        n--;  
        int k = rng.Next(n + 1);  
        T value = list[k];  
        list[k] = list[n];  
        list[n] = value;  
    }  
}

用法:

List<Product> products = GetProducts();
products.Shuffle();

上面的代码使用了备受批评的系统。选择交换候选的随机方法。它速度很快,但并不像它应该的那样随机。如果你需要更好的随机质量,可以使用System.Security.Cryptography中的随机数生成器,如下所示:

using System.Security.Cryptography;
...
public static void Shuffle<T>(this IList<T> list)
{
    RNGCryptoServiceProvider provider = new RNGCryptoServiceProvider();
    int n = list.Count;
    while (n > 1)
    {
        byte[] box = new byte[1];
        do provider.GetBytes(box);
        while (!(box[0] < n * (Byte.MaxValue / n)));
        int k = (box[0] % n);
        n--;
        T value = list[k];
        list[k] = list[n];
        list[n] = value;
    }
}

Edit: Since writing this answer a couple years back, many people have commented or written to me, to point out the big silly flaw in my comparison. They are of course right. There's nothing wrong with System.Random if it's used in the way it was intended. In my first example above, I instantiate the rng variable inside of the Shuffle method, which is asking for trouble if the method is going to be called repeatedly. Below is a fixed, full example based on a really useful comment received today from @weston here on SO.

Program.cs:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Threading;

namespace SimpleLottery
{
  class Program
  {
    private static void Main(string[] args)
    {
      var numbers = new List<int>(Enumerable.Range(1, 75));
      numbers.Shuffle();
      Console.WriteLine("The winning numbers are: {0}", string.Join(",  ", numbers.GetRange(0, 5)));
    }
  }

  public static class ThreadSafeRandom
  {
      [ThreadStatic] private static Random Local;

      public static Random ThisThreadsRandom
      {
          get { return Local ?? (Local = new Random(unchecked(Environment.TickCount * 31 + Thread.CurrentThread.ManagedThreadId))); }
      }
  }

  static class MyExtensions
  {
    public static void Shuffle<T>(this IList<T> list)
    {
      int n = list.Count;
      while (n > 1)
      {
        n--;
        int k = ThreadSafeRandom.ThisThreadsRandom.Next(n + 1);
        T value = list[k];
        list[k] = list[n];
        list[n] = value;
      }
    }
  }
}
 public Deck(IEnumerable<Card> initialCards) 
    {
    cards = new List<Card>(initialCards);
    public void Shuffle() 
     }
    {
        List<Card> NewCards = new List<Card>();
        while (cards.Count > 0) 
        {
            int CardToMove = random.Next(cards.Count);
            NewCards.Add(cards[CardToMove]);
            cards.RemoveAt(CardToMove);
        }
        cards = NewCards;
    }

public IEnumerable<string> GetCardNames() 

{
    string[] CardNames = new string[cards.Count];
    for (int i = 0; i < cards.Count; i++)
    CardNames[i] = cards[i].Name;
    return CardNames;
}

Deck deck1;
Deck deck2;
Random random = new Random();

public Form1() 
{

InitializeComponent();
ResetDeck(1);
ResetDeck(2);
RedrawDeck(1);
 RedrawDeck(2);

}



 private void ResetDeck(int deckNumber) 
    {
    if (deckNumber == 1) 
{
      int numberOfCards = random.Next(1, 11);
      deck1 = new Deck(new Card[] { });
      for (int i = 0; i < numberOfCards; i++)
           deck1.Add(new Card((Suits)random.Next(4),(Values)random.Next(1, 14)));
       deck1.Sort();
}


   else
    deck2 = new Deck();
 }

private void reset1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) {
ResetDeck(1);
RedrawDeck(1);

}

private void shuffle1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) 
{
    deck1.Shuffle();
    RedrawDeck(1);

}

private void moveToDeck1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) 
{

    if (listBox2.SelectedIndex >= 0)
    if (deck2.Count > 0) {
    deck1.Add(deck2.Deal(listBox2.SelectedIndex));

}

    RedrawDeck(1);
    RedrawDeck(2);

}

对已接受答案的简单修改,返回一个新的列表,而不是原地工作,并像许多其他Linq方法一样接受更通用的IEnumerable<T>。

private static Random rng = new Random();

/// <summary>
/// Returns a new list where the elements are randomly shuffled.
/// Based on the Fisher-Yates shuffle, which has O(n) complexity.
/// </summary>
public static IEnumerable<T> Shuffle<T>(this IEnumerable<T> list) {
    var source = list.ToList();
    int n = source.Count;
    var shuffled = new List<T>(n);
    shuffled.AddRange(source);
    while (n > 1) {
        n--;
        int k = rng.Next(n + 1);
        T value = shuffled[k];
        shuffled[k] = shuffled[n];
        shuffled[n] = value;
    }
    return shuffled;
}
