How to Randomize Array Position in JavaScript

Introduction

In this tutorial we will create a How to Randomize Array Position in JavaScript. This tutorial purpose is to teach you how to randomize the array position. This will cover all the basic parts of the function that will randomize the array index position. I will provide a sample program to show the actual coding of this tutorial.

This tutorial is simple and easy to understand just follow the instruction I provided and you can do it without a problem. This program purpose is to show you how to randomize the array index position. I will give my best to provide you the easiest way of creating this program Randomize array position. So let's do the coding.

Before we get started:

This is the link for the template that i used for the layout design https://getbootstrap.com/.

Creating The Interface

This is where we will create a simple interface for our application. This code will only array value and the button. To create this simply copy and write it into your text editor, then save it as index.html.
  1. <!DOCTYPE html>
  2. <html

    lang

    =

    "en"

    >
  3. <head

    >
  4. <meta

    charset

    =

    "UTF-8"

    name

    =

    "viewport"

    content

    =

    "width=device-width, initial-scale=1"

    /

    >
  5. <link

    rel

    =

    "stylesheet"

    type

    =

    "text/css"

    href

    =

    "css/bootstrap.css"

    /

    >
  6. </

    head

    >
  7. <body

    >
  8. <nav

    class

    =

    "navbar navbar-default"

    >
  9. <div

    class

    =

    "container-fluid"

    >
  10. <a

    class

    =

    "navbar-brand"

    >

    Sourcecodester</

    a

    >
  11. </

    div

    >
  12. </

    nav

    >
  13. <div

    class

    =

    "col-md-3"

    ></

    div

    >
  14. <div

    class

    =

    "col-md-6 well"

    >
  15. <h3

    class

    =

    "text-primary"

    >

    How to Randomize Array Position in JavaScript</

    h3

    >
  16. <hr

    style

    =

    "border-top:1px dotted #ccc;"

    /

    >
  17. <button

    class

    =

    "btn btn-primary"

    type

    =

    "button"

    onclick

    =

    "shuffle();"

    >

    Shuffle</

    button

    >
  18. <div

    id

    =

    "result"

    style

    =

    "width:550px; height:300px; border:10px solid #ccc; padding:20px;"

    ></

    div

    >

  19. </

    div

    >
  20. <script

    src

    =

    "script.js"

    ></

    script

    >
  21. </

    body

    >
  22. </

    html

    >

Creating JavaScript Function

This is where the main function of the application is. This code will randomize the array position when the button is clicked. To do this just copy and write these block of codes inside the text editor and save it as script.js.
  1. display(

    )

    ;

  2. function

    arrayRear(

    arr)

    {
  3. for

    (

    var

    i =

    0

    ,

    rear =

    [

    ]

    ,

    randomIndex =

    0

    ;

    i <

    arr.length

    ;

    i++

    )

    {
  4. randomIndex =

    Math

    .floor

    (

    Math

    .random

    (

    )

    *

    arr.length

    )

    ;
  5. while (

    rear.indexOf

    (

    arr[

    randomIndex]

    )

    !==

    -

    1

    )

    {
  6. randomIndex =

    Math

    .floor

    (

    Math

    .random

    (

    )

    *

    arr.length

    )

    ;
  7. }
  8. rear.push

    (

    arr[

    randomIndex]

    )

    ;
  9. }

  10. return

    rear;
  11. }

  12. function

    display(

    )

    {
  13. let arr =

    [

    "0"

    ,

    "1"

    ,

    "2"

    ,

    "3"

    ,

    "4"

    ,

    "5"

    ,

    "6"

    ,

    "7"

    ,

    "8"

    ,

    "9"

    ,

    "10"

    ,

    "11"

    ,

    "12"

    ,

    "13"

    ,

    "14"

    ,

    "15"

    ,

    "16"

    ,

    "17"

    ,

    "18"

    ,

    "19"

    ,

    "20"

    ]

    ;
  14. let html =

    ""

    ;
  15. for

    (

    let i=

    0

    ;

    i<

    arr.length

    ;

    i++

    )

    {
  16. html +=

    "<div width:200; height:200; style='margin:10px; font-size:50px; float:left;'>"

    +

    arr[

    i]

    +

    "</div>"

    ;
  17. }
  18. html +=

    "<br style='clear:both;'/>"

    ;

  19. document.getElementById

    (

    'result'

    )

    .innerHTML

    =

    html;
  20. }

  21. function

    shuffle(

    )

    {
  22. let arr =

    [

    "0"

    ,

    "1"

    ,

    "2"

    ,

    "3"

    ,

    "4"

    ,

    "5"

    ,

    "6"

    ,

    "7"

    ,

    "8"

    ,

    "9"

    ,

    "10"

    ,

    "11"

    ,

    "12"

    ,

    "13"

    ,

    "14"

    ,

    "15"

    ,

    "16"

    ,

    "17"

    ,

    "18"

    ,

    "19"

    ,

    "20"

    ]

    ;
  23. let html =

    ""

    ;
  24. arrayRear(

    arr)

    .forEach

    (

    function

    (

    item)

    {
  25. html +=

    "<div width:200; height:200; style='margin:10px; font-size:50px; float:left;' >"

    +

    item+

    "</div>"

    ;
  26. }

    )
  27. html +=

    "<br style='clear:both;'/>"

    ;

  28. document.getElementById

    (

    'result'

    )

    .innerHTML

    =

    html;
  29. }

In the code above we create a special method called arrayRear(), this function will randomize the array index position of the targeted array. We will only create a method that will only display the array value and an event that will be triggered by binded button. To randomize the index postion of an array we will only just append the array value into the method that we created the arrayRear().
