### shuffle
Randomizes the order of the values of an array.
Randomizes the order of the values of an array, in place.
Use `Array.sort()` to reorder elements, using `Math.random()` in the comparator.
Users the Fisher-Yates reorder the elements, based on the [Lodash implementation](https://github.com/lodash/lodash/blob/b2ea6b1cd251796dcb5f9700c4911a7b6223920b/shuffle.js).
```js
const shuffle = arr => arr.sort(() => Math.random() - 0.5);
const shuffle = (arr = []) => {
let i = -1;
const lastIndex = arr.length - 1;
while (++i < arr.length) {
const rand = i + Math.floor(Math.random() * (lastIndex - i + 1));
const value = arr[rand];
arr[rand] = arr[i];
arr[i] = value;
}
return arr
};
// shuffle([1,2,3]) -> [2,3,1]
```
