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"]

这个答案详细介绍了如何在Swift 4.2+中使用快速和统一的算法(Fisher-Yates)进行洗牌，以及如何在之前的各种Swift版本中添加相同的功能。每个Swift版本的命名和行为都与该版本的突变和非突变排序方法相匹配。

Swift 4 + 2。

shuffle和shuffle是原生开始Swift 4.2。使用示例:

let x = [1, 2, 3].shuffled()
// x == [2, 3, 1]

let fiveStrings = stride(from: 0, through: 100, by: 5).map(String.init).shuffled()
// fiveStrings == ["20", "45", "70", "30", ...]

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

Swift 4.0和4.1

这些扩展将一个shuffle()方法添加到任何可变集合(数组和不安全的可变缓冲区)，并将一个shuffled()方法添加到任何序列:

extension MutableCollection {
    /// Shuffles the contents of this collection.
    mutating func shuffle() {
        let c = count
        guard c > 1 else { return }

        for (firstUnshuffled, unshuffledCount) in zip(indices, stride(from: c, to: 1, by: -1)) {
            // Change `Int` in the next line to `IndexDistance` in < Swift 4.1
            let d: Int = numericCast(arc4random_uniform(numericCast(unshuffledCount)))
            let i = index(firstUnshuffled, offsetBy: d)
            swapAt(firstUnshuffled, i)
        }
    }
}

extension Sequence {
    /// Returns an array with the contents of this sequence, shuffled.
    func shuffled() -> [Element] {
        var result = Array(self)
        result.shuffle()
        return result
    }
}

用法与上述Swift 4.2示例相同。

(过时的语言:你不能使用Swift 2。x将于2018年7月在iTunes Connect上发布)

extension MutableCollectionType where Index == Int {
    /// Shuffle the elements of `self` in-place.
    mutating func shuffleInPlace() {
        // empty and single-element collections don't shuffle
        if count < 2 { return }

        for i in startIndex ..< endIndex - 1 {
            let j = Int(arc4random_uniform(UInt32(count - i))) + i
            guard i != j else { continue }
            swap(&self[i], &self[j])
        }
    }
}

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

用法:

[1, 2, 3].shuffle()
// [2, 3, 1]

let fiveStrings = 0.stride(through: 100, by: 5).map(String.init).shuffle()
// ["20", "45", "70", "30", ...]

var numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4]
numbers.shuffleInPlace()
// [3, 2, 1, 4]

Shuffle是一种可变数组方法

这个扩展将让你洗牌可变数组实例的地方:

extension Array {
    mutating func shuffle() {
        if count < 2 { return }
        for i in 0..<(count - 1) {
            let j = Int(arc4random_uniform(UInt32(count - i))) + i
            swap(&self[i], &self[j])
        }
    }
}
var numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]
numbers.shuffle()                     // e.g., numbers == [6, 1, 8, 3, 2, 4, 7, 5]

shuffle是一种非突变数组方法

这个扩展可以让你检索一个数组实例的打乱副本:

extension Array {
    func shuffled() -> [T] {
        if count < 2 { return self }
        var list = self
        for i in 0..<(list.count - 1) {
            let j = Int(arc4random_uniform(UInt32(list.count - i))) + i
            swap(&list[i], &list[j])
        }
        return list
    }
}
let numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]
let mixedup = numbers.shuffled()     // e.g., mixedup == [6, 1, 8, 3, 2, 4, 7, 5]

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!)

}

编辑:正如在其他回答中提到的，Swift 4.2最终在标准库中添加了随机数生成，并完成了数组变换。

然而，GameplayKit中的GKRandom / GKRandomDistribution套件仍然可以与新的RandomNumberGenerator协议一起使用-如果您添加扩展到GameplayKit rng以符合新的标准库协议，您可以轻松获得:

可发送的rng(在测试需要时可以复制“随机”序列) 为了速度而牺牲健壮性的rng 产生非均匀分布的rng

.．.并且仍然可以使用Swift中漂亮的新“本地”随机api。

这个答案的其余部分涉及到这些rng和/或它们在旧的Swift编译器中的使用。

这里已经有一些很好的答案，以及一些很好的说明为什么如果不小心，编写自己的shuffle可能容易出错。

在iOS 9、macOS 10.11和tvOS 9(或更高版本)中，你不必自己编写。GameplayKit中有一个有效且正确的Fisher-Yates执行方法(游戏邦注:尽管它的名字叫Fisher-Yates，但它并不只是用于游戏)。

如果你只是想要一个独特的洗牌:

let shuffled = GKRandomSource.sharedRandom().arrayByShufflingObjects(in: array)

如果您希望能够复制洗牌或一系列洗牌，请选择并播种一个特定的随机源;如。

let lcg = GKLinearCongruentialRandomSource(seed: mySeedValue)
let shuffled = lcg.arrayByShufflingObjects(in: array)

在iOS 10 / macOS 10.12 / tvOS 10中，也有一个方便的语法，可以通过NSArray的扩展进行变换。当然，当你使用Swift数组时，这有点麻烦(并且它在返回Swift时失去了它的元素类型):

let shuffled1 = (array as NSArray).shuffled(using: random) // -> [Any]
let shuffled2 = (array as NSArray).shuffled() // use default random source

但是为它创建一个保持类型的Swift包装器非常简单:

extension Array {
    func shuffled(using source: GKRandomSource) -> [Element] {
        return (self as NSArray).shuffled(using: source) as! [Element]
    }
    func shuffled() -> [Element] {
        return (self as NSArray).shuffled() as! [Element]
    }
}
let shuffled3 = array.shuffled(using: random)
let shuffled4 = array.shuffled()

简单的例子:

extension Array {
    mutating func shuffled() {
        for _ in self {
            // generate random indexes that will be swapped
            var (a, b) = (Int(arc4random_uniform(UInt32(self.count - 1))), Int(arc4random_uniform(UInt32(self.count - 1))))
            if a == b { // if the same indexes are generated swap the first and last
                a = 0
                b = self.count - 1
            }
            swap(&self[a], &self[b])
        }
    }
}

var array = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10]
array.shuffled()
print(array) // [9, 8, 3, 5, 7, 6, 4, 2, 1, 10]

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