Hi, I'me trying to write a function that will shuffle a vector. At the moment I'm baically making a vector of randomized indices and then making a new vector from the original one using these random indices.
However, is there an alternative (more elegant) method to do this? I tried help.search('shuffle') but it does'nt return anything relevant.
Thanks,
