How do I shuffle two arrays in same order in java

Question

I\'ve got two arrays of question and answers

String questions[] = {
\"Q1?\",
\"Q2?\",
\"Q3?\"};

String answers[] = {
    \"A1?\",
    \"A2?\",
    \"A3?\"}         


        

Answer 1

You can rather shuffle a new array which holds the indices. And then get the elements from both array from the first index.

List indexArray = Arrays.asList(0, 1, 2);

Collections.shuffle(indexArray);

String question = questions[indexArray.get(0)];
String answer = answers[indexArray.get(0)];

Of course, creating a class containing questions and answers would be a more OO way, as other answers suggest. That way, you would have to maintain just one List or array, as compared to 3 arrays in the current approach.
