How to shuffle an array in JavaScript

Shuffling arrays is crucial for randomizing data presentation, creating quiz questions, implementing card games, and providing varied user experiences in JavaScript applications. With over 25 years of experience in software development and as the creator of CoreUI, I’ve implemented array shuffling in components like image galleries, testimonial carousels, and dashboard widgets where randomized content keeps interfaces fresh and engaging. From my extensive expertise, the most mathematically sound and efficient solution is implementing the Fisher-Yates shuffle algorithm, which ensures truly uniform random distribution. This approach is unbiased, performant, and provides the gold standard for array randomization in computer science.
