Program of Exchange Sort

// C Program to shuffle a given array

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>

// A utility function to swap to integers
void swap (int *a, int *b)
{
    int temp = *a;
    *a = *b;
    *b = temp;
}

// A utility function to print an array
void printArray (int arr[], int n)
{
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
        printf("%d ", arr[i]);
    printf("\n");
}

// A function to generate a random permutation of arr[]
void randomize ( int arr[], int n )
{
    // Use a different seed value so that we don't get same
    // result each time we run this program
    srand ( time(NULL) );

    // Start from the last element and swap one by one. We don't
    // need to run for the first element that's why i > 0
    for (int i = n-1; i > 0; i--)
    {
        // Pick a random index from 0 to i
        int j = rand() % (i+1);

        // Swap arr[i] with the element at random index
        swap(&arr[i], &arr[j]);
    }
}

// Driver program to test above function.
int main()
{
    int arr[] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8};
    int n = sizeof(arr)/ sizeof(arr[0]);
    randomize (arr, n);
    printArray(arr, n);


    return 0;
