Approaches to Shuffle Deck of Cards in JavaScript

Approaches to Shuffle Deck of Cards in JavaScript

So for shuffling the deck of cards, we will use two approaches which are described below...

Approach 1: Using Fisher–Yates shuffle Algorithm method

In this approach we create a standard deck of cards by inputting all the types of cards in one array and the values of each type of card in another array, We create an empty array res and run a nested loop, and insert both cards and values in the res array. Now we start shuffling the cards with the help of the Fisher-Yates algorithm to shuffle the res array, which is a simple and efficient way to randomize an array and each time the program runs the card will be shuffled again....

Approach 2: Using sorting and a random number generator

In this approach, we shuffle the deck of cards using Arrays.sort() function and a comparator function that will generate a random number between -0.5 and 0.5 every time the program will run and for each pair of elements that will be compared. This method will then shuffle the deck of cards in an randomized order. But this method is not as effective as The Fisher-Yates shuffle for shuffling large-sized arrays....
