    Working Array Extension (mutating & non-mutating)

    Swift 4.1 / Xcode 9

    The top answer is deprecated, so I took it upon myself to create my own extension to shuffle an array in the newest version of Swift, Swift 4.1 (Xcode 9):

    extension Array {
    
    // Non-mutating shuffle
        var shuffled : Array {
            let totalCount : Int = self.count
            var shuffledArray : Array = []
            var count : Int = totalCount
            var tempArray : Array = self
            for _ in 0..<totalCount {
                let randomIndex : Int = Int(arc4random_uniform(UInt32(count)))
                let randomElement : Element = tempArray.remove(at: randomIndex)
                shuffledArray.append(randomElement)
                count -= 1
            }
            return shuffledArray
        }
    
    // Mutating shuffle
        mutating func shuffle() {
            let totalCount : Int = self.count
            var shuffledArray : Array = []
            var count : Int = totalCount
            var tempArray : Array = self
            for _ in 0..<totalCount {
                let randomIndex : Int = Int(arc4random_uniform(UInt32(count)))
                let randomElement : Element = tempArray.remove(at: randomIndex)
                shuffledArray.append(randomElement)
                count -= 1
            }
            self = shuffledArray
        }
    }
    

    Call Non-Mutating Shuffle [Array] -> [Array]:

    let array = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20]
    
    print(array.shuffled)
    

    This prints array in a random order.


    Call Mutating Shuffle [Array] = [Array]:

    var array = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20]
    
    array.shuffle() 
    // The array has now been mutated and contains all of its initial 
    // values, but in a randomized shuffled order
    
    print(array) 
    

    This prints array in its current order, which has already been randomly shuffled.


    Hopes this works for everybody, if you have any questions, suggestions, or comments, feel free to ask!
