Randomize two arrays the same way Swift

Question

I know there is a new shuffle method with iOS 9 but I am wondering if there is anyway to shuffle two arrays the same way?

For example

[1         


        

Answer 1

Based upon Martin R's original answer, you could approach the problem using GameKit.

The answer is written in Swift4:

var arrayA = [1, 2, 3, 4]
var arrayB = ["a", "b", "c", "d"]

//Get The Indices Of The 1st Array 
var shuffledIndices: [Int] = Array(arrayA.indices)
print("Shuffled Indices = \(shuffledIndices)")

//Shuffle These Using GameKit
shuffledIndices = GKRandomSource.sharedRandom().arrayByShufflingObjects(in: shuffledIndices) as! [Int]

//Map The Objects To The Shuffled Indices
arrayA = shuffledIndices.map { arrayA[$0] }
arrayB = shuffledIndices.map { arrayB[$0] }

//Log The Results
print("""
Array A = \(arrayA)
Array B = \(arrayB)
""")

Hope it helps ^_________^.
