I need to randomly 'sort' a list of integers (0-1999) in the most efficient way possible. Any ideas?
Currently, I am doing something like this:
bool[] bIndexSet = new bool[iItemCount];
for (int iCurIndex = 0; iCurIndex < iItemCount; iCurIndex++)
{
int iSwapIndex = random.Next(iItemCount);
if (!bIndexSet[iSwapIndex] && iSwapIndex != iCurIndex)
{
int iTemp = values[iSwapIndex];
values[iSwapIndex] = values[iCurIndex];
values[iCurIndex] = values[iSwapIndex];
bIndexSet[iCurIndex] = true;
bIndexSet[iSwapIndex] = true;
}
}
