  yarn add @algorithm.ts/shuffle

Usage

• Shuffle nums.

  import { knuthShuffle } from '@algorithm.ts/shuffle'
  
  knuthShuffle([1, 2, 3, 4, 5])

• Shuffle complex data nodes.

  import { knuthShuffle } from '@algorithm.ts/shuffle'
  
  interface Node {
    name: string
    email: string
    age: number
  }
  
  const nodes: Node[] = [
    { name: 'alice', email: 'alice@gmail.com', age: 40 },
    /*... omit ...*/
    { name: 'bob', email: 'lob@gmail.com', age: 40 },
  ]
  knuthShuffle(nodes)

• Shuffle the elements which indexes in the customized contiguous range.

  import { knuthShuffle } from '@algorithm.ts/shuffle'
  
  // shuffle { a[2], a[3], a[4], a[5], a[6] }
  knuthShuffle([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9], 2, 7)
