arrays - How to randomly generate numbers without repetition in javascript?

Question

I want to generate each number between 0 to 4 randomly using javascript and each number can appear only once. So I wrote the code:

for(var l=0; l<5; l++) {
    var randomNumber = Math.floor(Math.random()*5);  
    alert(randomNumber)
}

but this code is repeating the values. Please help.

Answer 1

Generate a range of numbers:

var numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4];

And then shuffle it:

function shuffle(o) {
    for(var j, x, i = o.length; i; j = parseInt(Math.random() * i), x = o[--i], o[i] = o[j], o[j] = x);
    return o;
};

var random = shuffle(numbers);
