Random Latin squares
From Rosetta Code
Random Latin squares 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.
A Latin square of size n is an arrangement of n symbols in an n-by-n square in such a way that each row and column has each symbol appearing exactly once.
A randomised Latin square generates random configurations of the symbols for any given n.
- Example n=4 randomised Latin square
0 2 3 1 2 1 0 3 3 0 1 2 1 3 2 0
- Task
- Create a function/routine/procedure/method/... that given
ngenerates a randomised Latin square of sizen. - Use the function to generate and show here, two randomly generated squares of size 5.
- Note
Strict Uniformity in the random generation is a hard problem and not a requirement of the task.

This solution uses functions from Factorial_base_numbers_indexing_permutations_of_a_collection#F.23 and Latin_Squares_in_reduced_form#F.23. This solution generates completely random uniformly distributed Latin Squares from all possible Latin Squares of order 5. It takes 5 thousandths of a second can that really be called hard?

Factor[edit]
A brute force method for generating uniformly random Latin squares. Repeatedly select a random permutation of (0, 1,...n-1) and add it as the next row of the square. If at any point the rules for being a Latin square are violated, start the entire process over again from the beginning.

Restarting Row method[edit]
As the task is not asking for large squares to be generated and even n = 10 is virtually instant, we use a simple brute force approach here known as the 'Restarting Row' method (see Talk page). However, whilst easy to understand, this method does not produce uniformly random squares.
package main

)

func shuffle(row []int, n int) {
rand.Shuffle(n, func(i, j int) {
row[i], row[j] = row[j], row[i]
})
}
func latinSquare(n int) {
if n <= 0 {
fmt.Println("[]\n")
return
}
latin := make(matrix, n)
for i := 0; i < n; i++ {
latin[i] = make([]int, n)
if i == n-1 {
break
}
for j := 0; j < n; j++ {
latin[i][j] = j
}
}
// first row
shuffle(latin[0], n)
// middle row(s)
for i := 1; i < n-1; i++ {
shuffled := false
shuffling:
for !shuffled {
shuffle(latin[i], n)
for k := 0; k < i; k++ {
for j := 0; j < n; j++ {

continue shuffling
}

Latin Squares in Reduced Form method[edit]

Easy Way[edit]
One row shuffled to be used as the destination row. One more shuffled and then n times rotated by one and stored to array
for 40x40 need 2~3 sec, including displaying to screen
We use the stack of values, a linked list, for pushing to top (Push) or to bottom (Data), and we can pop from top using Number or by using Read A to read A from stack. Also we can shift from a chosen position to top using Shift, or using shiftback to move an item from top to chosen position. So we shuffle items by shifting them.

REXX[edit]
This REXX version produces a randomized Latin square similar to the Julia program.
The symbols could be any characters (except those that contain a blank), but the numbers from 0 ──► N-1 are used.
/*REXX program generates and displays a randomized Latin square. */
parse arg N seed . /*obtain the optional argument from CL.*/
if N=='' | N=="," then N= 5 /*Not specified? Then use the default.*/
if datatype(seed, 'W') then call random ,,seed /*Seed numeric? Then use it for seed.*/
w= length(N - 1) /*get the length of the largest number.*/
$= /*initialize $ string to null. */
do i=0 for N; $= $ right(i, w, '_') /*build a string of numbers (from zero)*/
end /*i*/ /* [↑] $ string is (so far) in order.*/
z= /*Z: will be the 1st row of the square*/
do N; ?= random(1,words($)) /*gen a random number from the $ string*/
z= z word($, ?); $= delword($, ?, 1) /*add the number to string; del from $.*/
end /*r*/
zz= z||z /*build a double-length string of Z. */
do j=1 for N /* [↓] display rows of random Latin sq*/
say translate(subword(zz, j, N), , '_') /*translate leading underbar to blank. */
end /*j*/ /*stick a fork in it, we're all done. */

4 1 3 0 2 1 3 0 2 4 3 0 2 4 1 0 2 4 1 3 2 4 1 3 0

Ruby[edit]
This crude algorithm works fine up to a square size of 10; higher values take too much time and memory. It creates an array of all possible permutations, picks a random one as first row an weeds out all permutations which cannot appear in the remaining square. Repeat picking and weeding until there is a square.
N = 5
def generate_square
perms = (1..N).to_a.permutation(N).to_a.shuffle
square = []
N.times do
square << perms.pop
perms.reject!{|perm| perm.zip(square.last).any?{|el1, el2| el1 == el2} }
end
square
end
def print_square(square)
cell_size = N.digits.size + 1
strings = square.map!{|row| row.map!{|el| el.to_s.rjust(cell_size)}.join }
puts strings, "\n"
