{{task}}Shuffle the characters of a string in such a way that as many of the character values are in a different position as possible. Print the result as follows: original string, shuffled string, (num characters ignored)
 
;Task:
For example: <code>tree, eetr, (0)</code>
Shuffle the characters of a string in such a way that as many of the character values are in a different position as possible.
 
A shuffle that produces a randomized result among the best choices is to be preferred. A deterministic approach that produces the same sequence every time is acceptable as an alternative.
The words to test with are: <code>abracadabra</code>, <code>seesaw</code>, <code>elk</code>, <code>grrrrrr</code>, <code>up</code>, <code>a</code>
 
Display the result as follows:
=={{header|C}}==
 
original string, shuffled string, (score)
{{incorrect|C|it does not work in in the general case}}
 
The score gives the number of positions whose character value did ''not'' change.
This approach is totally deterministic. Thus, the true "shuffle" is not done in a sense since it would invariably involve random numbers. Also, every character is considered unique in a word and that's why grrrrr also has a score of 0.

Enter String : seesaw
The Raku program (and the equivalent Ruby program) use several built-in array functions. Awk provides no array functions, except for split(). This Awk program, a translation from Raku, uses its own code
 
* to sort an array,
seesaw, wasees, (0)
* to insert an element into the middle of an array,
Continue (y/n) :y
* to remove an element from the middle of an array (and close the gap),
* to pop an element from the end of an array, and
* to join the elements of an array into a string.
 
If those built-in array functions seem strange to you, and if you can understand these for loops, then you might prefer this Awk program. This algorithm counts the letters in the string, sorts the positions, and fills the positions in order.

This approach is totally deterministic, and is based on the final J implementation from the talk page.
 
In essence: we form cyclic groups of character indices where each cyclic group is guaranteed to represent each character only once (two instances of the letter 'a' must have their indices in separate groups), and then we rotate each of the cyclic groups. We then use the before/after version of these cycles to shuffle the original text. The only way a character can be repeated, here, is when a cyclic group contains only one character index, and this can only happen when more than half of the text uses that character. This is C99 code.

We demonstrate several approaches here. In order to test the program we define a testing suite:
main = mapM_ f examples
where examples = ["abracadabra", "seesaw", "elk", "grrrrrr", "up", "a"]
f s = printf "%s, %s, (%d)\n" s s' $ score s s'
where s' = bestShuffle s
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="haskell">shufflingQuality l1 l2 = length $ filter id $ zipWith (==) l1 l2
score :: Eq a => [a] -> [a] -> Int
score old new = length $ filter id $ zipWith (==) old new
 
printTest prog = mapM_ test texts
bestShuffle :: (Ord a, Eq a) => [a] -> [a]
where
bestShuffle s = elems $ array bs $ f positions letters
where positions test s = do
x <- prog s
concat $ sortBy (compare `on` length) $
putStrLn $ map (map fst)unwords $ groupBy[ ((==)show `on` snd) $s
sortBy (compare `on` snd) $ zip [0..] s , show x
, show $ shufflingQuality s x]
letters = map (orig !) positions
texts = [ "abba", "abracadabra", "seesaw", "elk" , "grrrrrr"
, "up", "a", "aaaaa.....bbbbb"

=== Deterministic List-based solution ===
f [] [] = []
f (p : ps) ls = (p, ls !! i) : f ps (removeAt i ls)
where i = fromMaybe 0 $ findIndex (/= o) ls
o = orig ! p
 
The core of the algorithm is swapping procedure similar to those implemented in AWK and Icon examples. It could be done by a pure program with use of immutable vectors (though it is possible to use mutable vectors living in <tt>ST</tt> or <tt>IO</tt>, but it won't make the program more clear).
orig = listArray bs s
bs = (0, length s - 1)
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="haskell">import Data.Vector ((//), (!))
removeAt :: Int -> [a] -> [a]
import qualified Data.Vector as V
removeAt 0 (x : xs) = xs
import Data.List (delete, find)
removeAt i (x : xs) = x : removeAt (i - 1) xs</lang>
 
swapShuffle :: Eq a => [a] -> [a] -> [a]
Here's a version of <code>bestShuffle</code> that's much simpler, but too wasteful of memory for inputs like "abracadabra":
swapShuffle lref lst = V.toList $ foldr adjust (V.fromList lst) [0..n-1]
where
vref = V.fromList lref
n = V.length vref
adjust i v = case find alternative [0.. n-1] of
Nothing -> v
Just j -> v // [(j, v!i), (i, v!j)]
where
alternative j = and [ v!i == vref!i
, i /= j
, v!i /= vref!j
, v!j /= vref!i ]

The program works but shuffling is not good in case of a real text, which was just shifted. We can make it better using [[Perfect shuffle]] (faro shuffle) before the swapping procedure.
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="haskell">perfectShuffle :: [a] -> [a]
perfectShuffle [] = []
perfectShuffle lst | odd n = b : shuffle (zip bs a)
| even n = shuffle (zip (b:bs) a)
where
n = length lst
(a,b:bs) = splitAt (n `div` 2) lst
shuffle = foldMap (\(x,y) -> [x,y])
shuffleP :: Eq a => [a] -> [a]
shuffleP lst = swapShuffle lst $ perfectShuffle lst</syntaxhighlight>

That's much better.
 
=== Nondeterministic List-based solution ===
 
Adding randomness is easy: just perform random shuffle before swapping procedure.
 
Additional import:
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="haskell">import Control.Monad.Random (getRandomR)</syntaxhighlight>
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="haskell">randomShuffle :: [a] -> IO [a]
randomShuffle [] = return []
randomShuffle lst = do
i <- getRandomR (0,length lst-1)
let (a, x:b) = splitAt i lst
xs <- randomShuffle $ a ++ b
return (x:xs)
shuffleR :: Eq a => [a] -> IO [a]
shuffleR lst = swapShuffle lst <$> randomShuffle lst</syntaxhighlight>
 
{{Out}}
<pre>λ> qualityTest shuffleR

"aaaaa.....bbbbb" "b.b.baababa.a.." 0
"Rosetta Code is a programming chrestomathy site." "esodmnithsrasrmeogReat taoCp gtrty i .mi as ohce" 0</pre>
 
Now everything is Ok except for the efficiency. Both randomization and swapping procedure are O[n^2], moreover the whole text must be kept in memory, so for large data sequences it will take a while to shuffle.
 
=== Nondeterministic Conduit-based solution ===
 
Using streaming technique it is possible to shuffle the sequence on the fly, using relatively small moving window (say of length k) for shuffling procedure. In that case the program will consume constant memory amount O[k] and require O[n*k] operations.
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="haskell">{-# LANGUAGE TupleSections, LambdaCase #-}
import Conduit
import Control.Monad.Random (getRandomR)
import Data.List (delete, find)
 
shuffleC :: Eq a => Int -> Conduit a IO a
shuffleC 0 = awaitForever yield
shuffleC k = takeC k .| sinkList >>= \v -> delay v .| randomReplace v
 
delay :: Monad m => [a] -> Conduit t m (a, [a])
delay [] = mapC $ \x -> (x,[x])
delay (b:bs) = await >>= \case
Nothing -> yieldMany (b:bs) .| mapC (,[])
Just x -> yield (b, [x]) >> delay (bs ++ [x])
 
randomReplace :: Eq a => [a] -> Conduit (a, [a]) IO a
randomReplace vars = awaitForever $ \(x,b) -> do
y <- case filter (/= x) vars of
[] -> pure x
vs -> lift $ (vs !!) <$> getRandomR (0, length vs - 1)
yield y
randomReplace $ b ++ delete y vars
 
shuffleW :: Eq a => Int -> [a] -> IO [a]
shuffleW k lst = yieldMany lst =$= shuffleC k $$ sinkList</syntaxhighlight>
 
Here we define a new conduit <code>shuffleC</code> which uses a moving window of length <tt>k</tt> and returns shuffled elements of upstream data.

This program is good for real texts with high entropy. In case of homogeneous strings like <tt>"aaaaa.....bbbbb"</tt> it gives poor results for windows smaller then homogeneous regions.
 
The main goal of streaming solution is to be able to process data from any resources, so let's use it to shuffle texts being transferred from <tt>stdin</tt> to <tt>stdout</tt>.

Rosetta Code is a programming chrestomathy site. The idea is to present solutions to the same task in as many different languages as possible, to demonstrate how languages are similar and different, and to aid a person with a grounding in one approach to a problem in learning another. Rosetta Code currently has 823 tasks, 193 draft tasks, and is aware of 642 languages, though we do not (and cannot) have solutions to every task in every language.

=={{header|Icon}} and {{header|Unicon}}==
The approach taken requires 2n memory and will run in O(n^2) time swapping once per final changed character. The algorithm is concise and conceptually simple avoiding the lists of indices, sorting, cycles, groups, and special cases requiring rotation needed by many of the other solutions. It proceeds through the entire string swapping characters ensuring that neither of the two characters are swapped with another instance of themselves in the ''original'' string.
 
Additionally, this can be trivially modified to randomize the shuffle by uncommenting the line
<syntaxhighlight lang="icon"># every !t :=: ?t # Uncomment to get a random best shuffling</syntaxhighlight> in <tt>bestShuffle</tt>.
<syntaxhighlight lang="icon">procedure main(args)
while scram := bestShuffle(line := read()) do
write(line," -> ",scram," (",unchanged(line,scram),")")
end
 
procedure bestShuffle(s)
t := s
# every !t :=: ?t # Uncomment to get a random best shuffling
every i := 1 to *t do
every j := (1 to i-1) | (i+1 to *t) do
if (t[i] ~== s[j]) & (s[i] ~== t[j]) then break t[i] :=: t[j]
return t
end
 
procedure unchanged(s1,s2) # Number of unchanged elements
every (count := 0) +:= (s1[i := 1 to *s1] == s2[i], 1)
return count
end</syntaxhighlight>
 
The code works in both Icon and Unicon.

Based on [http://rosettacode.org/mw/index.php?title=Best_shuffle&oldid=97419#J Dan Bron's approach]:
 
<langsyntaxhighlight lang="j">bestShuf =: verb define
yy=. <@(\:{~ ?~@#&>)@:(<@I.@=) y

</lang>
 
yy is (a list of) boxes of (lists of) indices where all characters selected by indices in a box are the same, and where the first box is the biggest box (contains the most indices). The phrase <code>({~ ?~@#)</code> shuffles the indices going into each box which makes the (deterministic) rotate which follows produce differing results sometimes (but only when that is possible).

After creating a shuffled array of letters, we iterate through
all permutations of that array. We keep the first word we encounter
with a score better than all previous words. As an optimization,
if we discover a word with score zero, we stop iterating early.
 
If the best score is nonzero, then we will iterate through every
possible permutation. So "aaaaaaaaaaah" will take a long time.
 
A faster solution is to shuffle once, and then make any additional
swaps which will improve the score.
