Shuffle an Array in JavaScript

The shuffleArray function randomly shuffles the elements of an array by using the sort method with Math.random.

const shuffleArray = arr => arr.sort(() => 0.5 - Math.random());

// Example output: [3, 5, 1, 4, 2]
console.log(shuffleArray([1, 2, 3, 4, 5])); 

How it works:

1. The sort method compares two elements of the array.

2. Math.random() generates a random value between 0 and 1.

3. Subtracting 0.5 ensures a roughly equal chance for any element to move up or down, creating a shuffle effect.

Use Cases:

• Games or Quizzes: Randomize questions or game elements for variety.

• Playlists or Galleries: Shuffle songs, videos, or images for a dynamic experience.

• Random Sampling: Rearrange items for statistical sampling or testing.
