这是Nate为Swift 4实现的Fisher-Yates shuffle的一个版本 (Xcode 9)。

extension MutableCollection {
    /// Shuffle the elements of `self` in-place.
    mutating func shuffle() {
        for i in indices.dropLast() {
            let diff = distance(from: i, to: endIndex)
            let j = index(i, offsetBy: numericCast(arc4random_uniform(numericCast(diff))))
            swapAt(i, j)
        }
    }
}

extension Collection {
    /// Return a copy of `self` with its elements shuffled
    func shuffled() -> [Element] {
        var list = Array(self)
        list.shuffle()
        return list
    }
}

这些变化是:

约束indexes . iterator . element == Index现在是部分 的收集协议，并且不需要强加于 扩展了。 交换元素必须通过调用集合上的swapAt()来完成， 添加mutableccollection . swapat(_:_:)。 Element是Iterator.Element的别名。

let shuffl = GKRandomSource.sharedRandom().arrayByShufflingObjects(in: arrayObject)

工作! !生物体是要洗牌的数组。

extension Array
{
    /** Randomizes the order of an array's elements. */
    mutating func shuffle()
    {
        for _ in 0..<10
        {
            sort { (_,_) in arc4random() < arc4random() }
        }
    }
}

var organisms = [
    "ant",  "bacteria", "cougar",
    "dog",  "elephant", "firefly",
    "goat", "hedgehog", "iguana"]

print("Original: \(organisms)")

organisms.shuffle()

print("Shuffled: \(organisms)")

swift 4.2有两个方便的功能:

// shuffles the array in place
myArray.shuffle()

and

// generates a new array with shuffled elements of the old array
let newArray = myArray.shuffled()

以Nate的算法为例，我想看看Swift 2和协议扩展会是什么样子。

这是我想到的。

extension MutableCollectionType where Self.Index == Int {
    mutating func shuffleInPlace() {
        let c = self.count
        for i in 0..<(c - 1) {
            let j = Int(arc4random_uniform(UInt32(c - i))) + i
            swap(&self[i], &self[j])
        }
    }
}

extension MutableCollectionType where Self.Index == Int {
    func shuffle() -> Self {
        var r = self
        let c = self.count
        for i in 0..<(c - 1) {
            let j = Int(arc4random_uniform(UInt32(c - i))) + i
            swap(&r[i], &r[j])
        }
        return r
    }
}

现在，任何MutableCollectionType都可以使用这些方法，因为它使用Int作为索引

这是如何在Swift 3.0中洗牌一个种子数组。

extension MutableCollection where Indices.Iterator.Element == Index {
    mutating func shuffle() {
        let c = count
        guard c > 1 else { return }


        for (firstUnshuffled , unshuffledCount) in zip(indices, stride(from: c, to: 1, by: -1)) {
            srand48(seedNumber)
            let number:Int = numericCast(unshuffledCount)
            let r = floor(drand48() * Double(number))

            let d: IndexDistance = numericCast(Int(r))
            guard d != 0 else { continue }
            let i = index(firstUnshuffled, offsetBy: d)
            swap(&self[firstUnshuffled], &self[i])
        }
    }
}
