{{alias}}( arr[, options] )
Shuffles elements of an array-like object.
Parameters
----------
arr: ArrayLike
Array-like object to shuffle.
options: Object (optional)
Options.
options.copy: string (optional)
String indicating whether to return a copy (`deep`,`shallow` or `none`).
Default: `'shallow'`.
Returns
-------
out: ArrayLike
Shuffled array-like object.
Examples
--------
> var data = [ 1, 2, 3 ];
> var out = {{alias}}( data )
e.g., [ 3, 1, 2 ]
> out = {{alias}}( data, { 'copy': 'none' });
> var bool = ( data === out )
true
{{alias}}.factory( [options] )
Returns a function to shuffle elements of array-like objects.
Parameters
----------
options: Object (optional)
Options.
options.seed: integer (optional)
Integer-valued seed.
options.copy: string (optional)
String indicating whether to return a copy (`deep`,`shallow` or `none`).
Default: `'shallow'`.
Returns
-------
fcn: Function
Shuffle function.
Examples
--------
> var myshuffle = {{alias}}.factory();
// Set a seed:
> myshuffle = {{alias}}.factory({ 'seed': 239 });
> var arr = [ 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 ];
> var out = myshuffle( arr )
e.g., [ 3, 4, 1, 0, 2 ]
// Use a different copy strategy:
> myshuffle = {{alias}}.factory({ 'copy': 'none', 'seed': 867 });
// Created shuffle function mutates input array by default:
> arr = [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 ];
> out = myshuffle( arr );
> var bool = ( arr === out )
true
// Default option can be overridden:
> arr = [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ];
> out = myshuffle( arr, { 'copy': 'shallow' });
> bool = ( arr === out )
false
