# shuffled()

Returns the elements of the sequence, shuffled.

## Declaration

```swift
func shuffled() -> [Self.Element]
```

## Return Value

Return Value A shuffled array of this sequence’s elements.

## Discussion

Discussion For example, you can shuffle the numbers between 0 and 9 by calling the shuffled() method on that range: let numbers = 0...9 let shuffledNumbers = numbers.shuffled() // shuffledNumbers == [1, 7, 6, 2, 8, 9, 4, 3, 5, 0] This method is equivalent to calling shuffled(using:), passing in the system’s default random generator. note: O(n), where n is the length of the sequence.
