FAQ

Q1: What is the Fisher-Yates algorithm?

Fisher-Yates is an unbiased random permutation algorithm that guarantees equal probability for every possible arrangement. Starting from the last element, it randomly selects a position to swap with, then repeats for each preceding element. This is the fairest shuffling method.

Q2: What are common uses for shuffling?

Common uses: random group assignment (students/teams), lottery drawing, question order randomization, A/B test splitting, random display lists, eliminating order bias, game card shuffling, etc. Any scenario requiring elimination of order influence.

Q3: Will the result be the same each time?

No. Each click of "Shuffle" produces a completely different random arrangement. The algorithm uses JavaScript's Math.random() to ensure results are different and unpredictable each time.
