I have a problem, I need to generate 16 random numbers (1-16) and insert them into 16 vector have tried using a for runs a check every time it fires a number but does not work ..
for ( i = 0; i <= 16; i++)
{
int[] v = new int[20];
number = rand.Next(1, 17);
vett[i] = number;
// control that checks that the numbers are not equal
}
Start with an array of 16 numbers. You could shuffle it:http://www.daniweb.com/software-development/csharp/code/269487
or randomly sort it: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/375351/most-efficient-way-to-randomly-sort-shuffle-a-list-of-integers-in-c-sharp
// Fisher-Yates shuffle, also known as Knuth shuffle
vett[0] = 1;
for (int i = 1; i < vett.Length; i++) {
j = rand.Next(0, i + 1)
// because we are dealing with integers, we can use the xor-no-temp swap
vett[i] ^= vett[j];
vett[j] ^= vett[i];
vett[i] ^= vett[j];
// now shuffle
vett[j] = i + 1;
}thanks for the reply.I tried the source but there are equal numbers ..

Not if you did it right, there aren't.
Post your new code.
int j = 0, n;
int[] vett = new int[20];
for (int i = 1; i < vett.Length; i++) {
j = rand.Next(0, i + 1)
// because we are dealing with integers, we can use the xor-no-temp swap
vett[i] ^= vett[j];
vett[j] ^= vett[i];
vett[i] ^= vett[j];
// now shuffle
vett[j] = i + 1;
}
}
textBox1.Text += vett[i] + " ";int j = 0, n; int[] vett = new int[20]; for (int i = 1; i < vett.Length; i++) { j = rand.Next(0, i + 1) // because we are dealing with integers, we can use the xor-no-temp swap vett[i] ^= vett[j]; vett[j] ^= vett[i]; vett[i] ^= vett[j]; // now shuffle vett[j] = i + 1; } } textBox1.Text += vett[i] + " ";
Hello sir I am new here and new in programming too so I doubt why we need to swap if we are just printing just one variable and random.Next can give you appropriate output?
@Momerath
Just wondering, I tried this code
namespace ConsoleApplication6
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
int j = 0;
int[] vett = new int[5];
Random rand = new Random();
for (int i = 1; i < vett.Length; i++)
{
j = rand.Next(0, i + 1);
// because we are dealing with integers, we can use the xor-no-temp swap
vett[i] ^= vett[j];
vett[j] ^= vett[i];
vett[i] ^= vett[j];
// now shuffle
vett[j] = i + 1;
}
Console.Read();
}
}
}several times, it gave random sequences like this one: 5 2 3 0 4 (vett is an array of 5 ints)
Should this not be random sequences of 01234 or 12345 ?
Changing range on line 13 had no effect at all.
If I removed the +1 on line 19 I got a random sequence of 01234
EDIT:
@Momerath again: Momerath your posted code works perfectly (OOPS! I copied the code of the OP to do my testing!)
All by all an interesting experience.:|
int j = 0;
int[] vett = new int[11];j = rand.Next(0, i + 1);
// because we are dealing with integers, we can use the xor-no-temp swap
vett[i] += vett[j];
vett[j] += vett[i];
vett[i] += vett[j];
// now shuffle
vett[j] = i + 1;I do not understand the utility of the code given that the output is 1 2 3 4
and to do this I could also use:
int j = 0;
int[] vett = new int[5];
Random rand = new Random();
for (int i = 1; i < vett.Length; i++)
{
vett[j] = i;
Console.WriteLine(" "+vett[j]);
}
Console.Read();
}but I wish it was the output for example 2 3 1 4 or 4 1 2 3 and not 1 2 3 4
If you are commenting on my post, when I said the output was a random sequence of (the digits) 12345, I meant what I said. At one time the output was 51243, the next time it was 15342 etc.
Make it simple:
Random rand = new Random();
int[] vett = new int[16];
for (int i = 0; i < vett.Length; i++)
{
vett[i] = rand.Next(1, vett.Length + 1);
Console.WriteLine(vett[i]);
}Don't work... :(
Copy the following letter by letter.
It contains the code by Momerath and it WORKS!
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
const int arraySize = 10;
int j = 0;
int[] vett = new int[arraySize];
Random rand = new Random();
for (int k = 1; k <= arraySize; k++)
{
vett[0] = 1;
for (int i = 1; i < vett.Length; i++)
{
j = rand.Next(0, i + 1);
// because we are dealing with integers, we can use the xor-no-temp swap
vett[i] ^= vett[j];
vett[j] ^= vett[i];
vett[i] ^= vett[j];
// now shuffle
vett[j] = i + 1;
}
Console.Write("Run no. {0} = ", k);
for (int i = 0; i < vett.Length; i++)
{
Console.Write(vett[i]); Console.Write(" ");
}
Console.WriteLine();
}
Console.Read();
}
}Perfect!!! thanks
Yep, you both left out what became line 13 in your code in your previous attempts.
Nice.
btw, what exactly does this exclusive-OR assignment operator "^=" with numbers?
I know for boolean values that the result is true if and only if exactly one of its operands is true.
Ok, thx
A^B is true if A is true or B is true but not both.
