Permuting a list | ||
---------------- | ||
|
||
.. code:: | ||
>>> from cryptorandom.cryptorandom import SHA256 | ||
>>> from cryptorandom.sample import random_permutation | ||
>>> import numpy as np | ||
The `sample` module contains methods for generating random permutations, compatible with any pseudorandom number generator that has `randint` and `random` methods. The module includes several algorithms to permute lists or arrays. | ||
|
||
The main workhorse is the `random_permutation` function. The default algorithm is `Fisher-Yates`, a shuffling method. | ||
|
||
.. code:: | ||
>>> fruit = ['apple', 'banana', 'cherry', 'pear', 'plum'] | ||
>>> s = SHA256(1234567890) | ||
>>> random_permutation(fruit, prng=s) | ||
array(['plum', 'apple', 'banana', 'pear', 'cherry'], dtype='<U6') | ||
Numpy and the base random module offer methods for drawing simple random samples with and without replacement, but don't allow you to choose the pseudorandom number generator. Numpy's `choice` method also uses the Fisher-Yates method. | ||
|
||
.. code:: | ||
>>> np.random.permutation(fruit) # Returns permuted list | ||
array(['apple', 'banana', 'plum', 'cherry', 'pear'], dtype='<U6') | ||
>>> np.random.shuffle(fruit) # Permutes the list in place, returns None | ||
>>> fruit | ||
['cherry', 'plum', 'pear', 'banana', 'apple'] | ||
