The Java Collections shuffle(List<?>) method is used to randomly permute the specified list using a default source of randomness.
DeclarationFollowing is the declaration for java.util.Collections.shuffle() method.
public static void shuffle(List<?> list)Parameters
list − The list to be shuffled.
Return ValueNA
ExceptionUnsupportedOperationException − Throws if the specified list or its list-iterator does not support the set operation.
Java Collections shuffle(List<?>, Random) Method DescriptionThe Java Collections shuffle(List<?>, Random) method is used to randomly permute the specified list using the specified source of randomness.
DeclarationFollowing is the declaration for java.util.Collections.shuffle() method.
public static void shuffle(List<?> list,Random rnd)Parameters
list − The list to be shuffled.
rnd − The source of randomness to use to shuffle the list.
NA
ExceptionUnsupportedOperationException − This is thrown if the specified list or its list-iterator does not support the set operation.
Getting a Shuffled List from a List of Integer ExampleThe following example shows the usage of Java Collection shuffle(List) method. We've created a List object with some integers, printed the original list. Using shuffle(List) method, we've shuffled elements of the list and then printed the updated list.
package com.tutorialspoint; import java.util.ArrayList; import java.util.Arrays; import java.util.Collections; import java.util.List; public class CollectionsDemo { public static void main(String[] args) { List<Integer> list = new ArrayList<>(Arrays.asList(1,2,3,4,5)); System.out.println("Initial collection value: " + list); // shuffle this collection Collections.shuffle(list); System.out.println("Final collection value: "+list); } }Output
Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −
Initial collection value: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] Final collection value: [5, 1, 2, 4, 3]Getting a Shuffled List from a List of String Example
The following example shows the usage of Java Collection shuffle(List) method. We've created a List object with some strings, printed the original list. Using shuffle(List) method, we've shuffled elements of the list and then printed the updated list.
package com.tutorialspoint; import java.util.ArrayList; import java.util.Arrays; import java.util.Collections; import java.util.List; public class CollectionsDemo { public static void main(String[] args) { List<String> list = new ArrayList<>(Arrays.asList("Welcome","to","Tutorialspoint")); System.out.println("Initial collection value: " + list); // shuffle values of this collection Collections.shuffle(list); System.out.println("Final collection value: "+list); } }Output
Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −
Initial collection value: [Welcome, to, Tutorialspoint] Final collection value: [Tutorialspoint, Welcome, to]Getting a Shuffled List using Random Seed from a List of Integer Example
The following example shows the usage of Java Collection shuffle(List, Random) method. We've created a List object with some Integers, printed the original list. Using shuffle(List, Random) method, we've shuffled elements of the list with given Random then printed the updated list.
package com.tutorialspoint; import java.util.ArrayList; import java.util.Arrays; import java.util.Collections; import java.util.List; import java.util.Random; public class CollectionsDemo { public static void main(String[] args) { List<Integer> list = new ArrayList<>(Arrays.asList(1,2,3,4,5)); System.out.println("Initial collection value: " + list); // shuffle this collection Collections.shuffle(list, new Random(2L)); System.out.println("Final collection value: "+list); } }Output
Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −
Initial collection value: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] Final collection value: [5, 1, 3, 2, 4]
