How to randomize arrangement/order of output in C? (arrays)

4102

1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data

Hi I'm using C and I need to use arrays on this one, but I need to somehow randomize the output.

2. Relevant equations

for example an output "abcde" could also have an output "bcade" possible

3. The attempt at a solution

#include <stdio.h>

main()
{

char word[27] = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";

printf("The contents of word[] is %c%c%c\n", word[0], word[1], word[3]);

}

the output of these one is "abc", but I want it to randomize it without rearranging the order of the output. In every run of the program, the order of the output should be diferent

example for every run, the output would be "bac" or "cba" etc.

Thanks!
