You use this method to randomize the elements of a collection when you are using a custom random number generator. For example, you can use the shuffle(using:) method to randomly reorder the elements of an array.

var names = ["Alejandro", "Camila", "Diego", "Luciana", "Luis", "Sofía"]
names.shuffle(using: &myGenerator)
// names == ["Sofía", "Alejandro", "Camila", "Luis", "Diego", "Luciana"]
