Problem 641. Make a random, non-repeating vector.

Created by Doug Hull

This is a basic MATLAB operation. It is for instructional purposes.

---

If you want to get a random permutation of integers randperm will help.

Given n, put the integers [1 2 3... N] in a random order.

Yes, the test suite is not conclusive, but it is pretty close!

This solution seems to run correctly in MATLAB (desktop)... can anyone tell me why it is coming back with an "Assertion Failed"?

function vec = makeRandomOrdering(n)
vec = zeros(1, numel(n));
flags = zeros(1, numel(n));
index = 1;
while (sum(flags) ~= numel(n))
pos = randi(numel(n));
if (flags(pos) ~= 1)
vec(index) = n(pos);
index = index + 1;
flags(pos) = 1;
end
end
end
