I’m trying to generate an array of random numbers from 0-n then shuffle (but ensure that the keys and values DO NOT match).
For example:
JavaScript
x
0 => 3
1 => 2
2 => 4
3 => 0
4 => 1
Note that both keys and values are from 0-4 but none of the keys and values are the same.
Any thoughts?

Answer
JavaScript
$max = 5;
$done = false;
while(!$done){
$numbers = range(0, $max);
shuffle($numbers);
$done = true;
foreach($numbers as $key => $val){
if($key == $val){
$done = false;
break;
}
}
}
