ListShuffle ListShuffle

GitHub Workflow Status Nuget Nuget Codacy Grade

Thread-safe list, array and span shuffle extension library, using Fisher-Yates shuffle and optional cryptographically-strong random.

Installation

The recommended means is to use NuGet, but you could also download the source code from here.

Usage (using Random)

var myList = new List<string>();
myList.Add("Item A");
myList.Add("Item B");
myList.Add("Item C");

myList.Shuffle();

var myArray = new string[3];
myArray[0] = "Item A";
myArray[1] = "Item B";
myArray[2] = "Item C";

myArray.Shuffle();

Span<string> mySpan = stackalloc string[3];
mySpan[0] = "Item A";
mySpan[1] = "Item B";
mySpan[2] = "Item C";

mySpan.Shuffle();

Usage (using RandomNumberGenerator)

If you need cryptographically-strong random in order to shuffle the list, array or span, you can use the CryptoStrongShuffle method instead. This method is less performant and only use it if you absolutely need to.

var myList = new List<string>();
myList.Add("Item A");
myList.Add("Item B");
myList.Add("Item C");

myList.CryptoStrongShuffle();

var myArray = new string[3];
myArray[0] = "Item A";
myArray[1] = "Item B";
myArray[2] = "Item C";

myArray.CryptoStrongShuffle();

Span<string> mySpan = stackalloc string[3];
mySpan[0] = "Item A";
mySpan[1] = "Item B";
mySpan[2] = "Item C";

mySpan.CryptoStrongShuffle();
