std::ranges::shuffle - cppreference.com

1) Reorders the elements in the given range [firstlast) such that each possible permutation of those elements has equal probability of appearance.

The function-like entities described on this page are algorithm function objects (informally known as niebloids), that is:

[edit] Parameters first, last - the iterator-sentinel pair defining the range of elements to shuffle randomly r - the range of elements to shuffle randomly gen - the random number generator [edit] Return value

An iterator equal to last.

[edit] Complexity

Exactly (last - first) - 1 swaps.

[edit] Possible implementation
struct shuffle_fn
{
    template<std::random_access_iterator I, std::sentinel_for<I> S, class Gen>
    requires std::permutable<I> &&
             std::uniform_random_bit_generator<std::remove_reference_t<Gen>>
    I operator()(I first, S last, Gen&& gen) const
    {
        using diff_t = std::iter_difference_t<I>;
        using distr_t = std::uniform_int_distribution<diff_t>;
        using param_t = typename distr_t::param_type;
        distr_t D;
        const auto n {last - first};
        for (diff_t i {1}; i < n; ++i)
            ranges::iter_swap(first + i, first + D(gen, param_t(0, i)));
        return ranges::next(first, last);
    }
 
    template<ranges::random_access_range R, class Gen>
    requires std::permutable<ranges::iterator_t<R>> &&
             std::uniform_random_bit_generator<std::remove_reference_t<Gen>>
    ranges::borrowed_iterator_t<R> operator()(R&& r, Gen&& gen) const
    {
        return (*this)(ranges::begin(r), ranges::end(r), std::forward<Gen>(gen));
    }
};
 
inline constexpr shuffle_fn shuffle {};
[edit] Example
#include <algorithm>
#include <array>
#include <iostream>
#include <random>
 
void print(const auto& a)
{
    for (const auto e : a)
        std::cout << e << ' ';
    std::cout << '\n';
}
 
int main()
{
    std::array a {'A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E', 'F'};
    print(a);
 
    std::random_device rd;
    std::mt19937 gen {rd()};
 
    for (int i {}; i != 3; ++i)
    {
        std::ranges::shuffle(a, gen);
        print(a);
    }
}

Possible output:

A B C D E F
F E A C D B
E C B F A D
B A E C F D
