  2. Fisher–Yates shuffle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fisher–Yates_shuffle

    Fisher–Yates shuffle. The Fisher–Yates shuffle is an algorithm for shuffling a finite sequence. The algorithm takes a list of all the elements of the sequence, and continually determines the next element in the shuffled sequence by randomly drawing an element from the list until no elements remain. [1] The algorithm produces an unbiased ...

  3. Random permutation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_permutation

    A random permutation is a random ordering of a set of objects, that is, a permutation -valued random variable. The use of random permutations is common in games of chance and in randomized algorithms in coding theory, cryptography, and simulation. A good example of a random permutation is the fair shuffling of a standard deck of cards: this is ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Excel

    Microsoft Excel is a spreadsheet editor developed by Microsoft for Windows, macOS, Android, iOS and iPadOS. It features calculation or computation capabilities, graphing tools, pivot tables, and a macro programming language called Visual Basic for Applications (VBA). Excel forms part of the Microsoft 365 suite of software.

  5. Riffle shuffle permutation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riffle_shuffle_permutation

    Beginning with an ordered set (1 rising sequence), mathematically a riffle shuffle is defined as a permutation on this set containing 1 or 2 rising sequences. [1] The permutations with 1 rising sequence are the identity permutations. As a special case of this, a -shuffle, for numbers and with , is a riffle in which the first packet has cards ...

  6. Shuffle algebra - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shuffle_algebra

    The shuffle algebra on a finite set is the graded dual of the universal enveloping algebra of the free Lie algebra on the set. Over the rational numbers, the shuffle algebra is isomorphic to the polynomial algebra in the Lyndon words. The shuffle product occurs in generic settings in non-commutative algebras; this is because it is able to ...

    To identify the control for the eject function. Shuffle U+1F500 🔀 — To randomly play a song from a given list. Usually the song is not chosen out of true randomness but rather following specific rules to prevent a song from repeating too often. Repeat (indefinitely) U+1F501 🔁

  8. Cocktail shaker sort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cocktail_shaker_sort

    Cocktail shaker sort, [1] also known as bidirectional bubble sort, [2] cocktail sort, shaker sort (which can also refer to a variant of selection sort), ripple sort, shuffle sort, [3] or shuttle sort, is an extension of bubble sort. The algorithm extends bubble sort by operating in two directions. While it improves on bubble sort by more ...

  9. Bucket sort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bucket_sort

    The shuffle sort [6] is a variant of bucket sort that begins by removing the first 1/8 of the n items to be sorted, sorts them recursively, and puts them in an array. This creates n/8 "buckets" to which the remaining 7/8 of the items are distributed. Each "bucket" is then sorted, and the "buckets" are concatenated into a sorted array.
