Generate random numbers without repeating a value

From Rosetta Code
Revision as of 16:53, 13 April 2022 by Drkameleon (talk | contribs) (Added Arturo implementation)
Generate random numbers without repeating a value is a draft programming task. It is not yet considered ready to be promoted as a complete task, for reasons that should be found in its talk page.

Many puzzle games such as the 15 puzzle game need a way to randomize the order of the pieces. One way to do this is to create an array and fill it with random values, with each element's index in that array being its position. Unfortunately, most random number generators can produce the same value more than once, which in this case isn't what we want.


Task

Create a random number generator and have it output the numbers 1 through 20 (inclusive), in a random order. It cannot produce the same value more than once.

Or

Given the output of an existing random number generator that does produce repeated output, create a function that constrains the output to numbers 1 through 20 (inclusive), and no number is output more than once. (Technically it stops being "random" at that point, but that's beyond the scope of this task.) Try your best not to make the process take too long at runtime.

For the second version of the task, the random number generator itself need not be implemented; however you must specify its possible range of values before your constraint function is applied. (e.g "Assume the random number generator creates a value from 0 to 255, and values are allowed to repeat")

Go

Translation of: Nim

This uses Go's 'native' random number generator which internally uses a custom algorithm attributed to D P Mitchell and J A Reeds and can generate non-negative random integers in the 64-bit range. <lang go>package main

import (

   "fmt"
   "log"
   "math/rand"
   "time"

)

// Generates and prints all numbers within an inclusive range whose endpoints are // non-negative 64-bit integers. The numbers are generated in random order with // any repetitions being ignored. func generate(from, to int64) {

   if to < from || from < 0 {
       log.Fatal("Invalid range.")
   }
   span := to - from + 1
   generated := make([]bool, span) // all false by default, zero indexing
   count := span
   for count > 0 {
       n := from + rand.Int63n(span) // upper endpoint is exclusive
       if !generated[n-from] {
           generated[n-from] = true
           fmt.Printf("%2d ", n)
           count--
       }
   }
   fmt.Println()

}

func main() {

   rand.Seed(time.Now().UnixNano())
   // generate 5 sets say
   for i := 1; i <= 5; i++ {
       generate(1, 20)
   }

}</lang>

Output:

Sample run:

16  7  5 11 10 12  1 19  9  2  4 14  6 18 17  8 20  3 13 15

 4 11  9 17 14 16  2  7  6  1 12 20  8 15  5 13 10 18 19  3 
19 13  9  7  5 12 11 17  1  3 16  4 15 14 20  8  6 18  2 10 


Alternatively and far more efficiently, we can simply create a list of the required numbers and randomly shuffle them. Go has a standard library function for this which uses the Fisher-Yates (aka Knuth) shuffle. <lang go>package main

import (

   "fmt"
   "math/rand"
   "time"

)

func main() {

   rand.Seed(time.Now().UnixNano())
   numbers := make([]int, 20)
   for i := 0; i < 20; i++ {
       numbers[i] = i + 1
   }
   for i := 1; i <= 5; i++ {
       rand.Shuffle(20, func(i, j int) {
           numbers[i], numbers[j] = numbers[j], numbers[i]
       })
       s := fmt.Sprintf("%2d ", numbers)
       fmt.Println(s[1 : len(s)-2])
   }

}</lang>

Nim

Translation of: Wren

Nim standard module random provides a PRNG based on xoroshiro128+ algorithm whose period is 2^128 − 1. It also provides the shuffle procedure to shuffle an array or a sequence using Knuth algorithm.

Here, we have defined a procedure which accepts a slice a..b as argument and returns a shuffled sequence of values from a to b. It uses the same algorithm as in Wren solution, i.e. a list to keep track of generated values.

<lang Nim>import random

randomize()

proc generate(s: Slice[int]): seq[int] =

 assert s.a <= s.b
 var count = s.b - s.a + 1
 var generated = newSeq[bool](count) # Initialized to false.
 while count != 0:
   let n = rand(s)
   if not generated[n - s.a]:
     generated[n - s.a] = true
     result.add n
     dec count

for i in 1..5:

Phix

Trival use of standard builtins. Progressively filtering the output of rand(20) would gain nothing except wasted cycles. Normally I would use "with javascript_semantics", or equivalently just "with js", to explicitly specify/verify the code can be run on both the desktop and in a web browser, however here that somehow seems like overkill.

R

R makes this so easy that it feels like you've missed the point. <lang rsplus>sample(20)</lang>

Raku

Raku has three distinct "random" functions built in. rand() for when you want some fraction between 0 and 1. roll() when you want to select elements from a collection with replacement (rolls of a die). And pick() for when you want to select some elements from a collection without replacement. (pick a card, any card, or two cards or 10 cards...). If you want to select all the elements in random order, just pick 'whatever'. Here we'll pick all from 1 to 20, 5 times using the repetition operator.

<lang perl6>.put for (1..20).pick(*) xx 5</lang>

Wren

Library: Wren-fmt

This uses Wren's 'native' pseudo-random number generator which internally uses WELL512a and can generate random integers in the 32-bit range. <lang ecmascript>import "random" for Random import "/fmt" for Fmt

var rand = Random.new()

// Generates and prints all numbers within an inclusive range whose endpoints are 32 bit integers. // The numbers are generated in random order with any repetitions being ignored. var generate = Fn.new { |r|

   var generated = List.filled(r.to - r.from + 1, false) // zero indexing
   while (generated.any { |g| !g }) { 
       var n = rand.int(r.from, r.to + 1) // upper endpoint is exclusive
       if (!generated[n - r.from]) {      
           generated[n - r.from] = true
           Fmt.write("$2d ", n)
       }
   }
   System.print()

}

// generate 5 sets say for (i in 1..5) generate.call(1..20)</lang>

Alternatively and far more efficiently, we can simply create a list of the required numbers and randomly shuffle them. Wren has a built-in function for this which uses the Fisher-Yates (aka Knuth) shuffle. <lang ecmascript>import "random" for Random import "/fmt" for Fmt

var rand = Random.new() var numbers = (1..20).toList for (i in 1..5) {

   rand.shuffle(numbers)
   Fmt.print("$2d", numbers)

}</lang>
