The shuffle() function in p5.js is used to shuffle the order of given array elements.
Syntax:
shuffle(Array)
Parameters: This function accepts a parameter Array whose elements are to be shuffled.
Return Value: It returns the shuffled array.
Below program illustrates the shuffle() function in p5.js:
Example-1:
function setup() { // Creating Canvas size createCanvas(500, 90); // Set the background color background(220); // Initializing the arrays let Array1 = [ 'IT' , 'CSE' , 'ECE' ]; // Calling to shuffle() function. let Array2 = shuffle(Array1); // Set the size of text textSize(16); // Set the text color fill(color( 'red' )); // Getting new shuffled array text( "Shuffled array is : " + Array2, 50, 30); } |
Output:
Example-2:
function setup() { // Creating Canvas size createCanvas(500, 90); // Set the background color background(220); // Calling to shuffle() function on an array // Taken as the parameter let Array = shuffle([ 'Ram' , 'Shayam' , 'Geeta' , 'Anita' ]); // Set the size of text textSize(16); // Set the text color fill(color( 'red' )); // Getting new shuffled array text( "Shuffled array is : " + Array, 50, 30); } |
Output:
NOTE: In the above codes, draw() function has not been used because if we use draw function then it does not give a clear output i.e, it keeps on changing the order of the array string continually and not giving any stagnant result.
