Returns a sequence of elements in random order from the original sequence. An additional parameter specifies a random generator to be used for the random selection algorithm.

Namespace: MoreLinq.Extensions
Assembly: MoreLinq (in MoreLinq.dll) Version: 3.0.0

Syntax

C++

Copy

public static IEnumerable<T> Shuffle<T>(
	this IEnumerable<T> source,
	Random rand
)

<ExtensionAttribute>
Public Shared Function Shuffle(Of T) ( 
	source As IEnumerable(Of T),
	rand As Random
) As IEnumerable(Of T)

public:
[ExtensionAttribute]
generic<typename T>
static IEnumerable<T>^ Shuffle(
	IEnumerable<T>^ source, 
	Random^ rand
)

[<ExtensionAttribute>]
static member Shuffle : 
        source : IEnumerable<'T> * 
        rand : Random -> IEnumerable<'T>

Parameters

source: Type: System.Collections.GenericIEnumerableT
The sequence from which to return random elements.
rand: Type: SystemRandom
A random generator used as part of the selection algorithm.

Type Parameters

T: The type of source sequence elements.

Return Value

Type: IEnumerableT
A sequence of elements source randomized in their order.

Usage Note

In Visual Basic and C#, you can call this method as an instance method on any object of type IEnumerableT. When you use instance method syntax to call this method, omit the first parameter. For more information, see Extension Methods (Visual Basic) or Extension Methods (C# Programming Guide).

Remarks

This method uses deferred execution and streams its results. The source sequence is entirely buffered before the results are streamed.
