Sure, but runtime depends on your luck.

#!/usr/bin/env perl use strict; use warnings; use List::Util qw( shuffle reduce ); my @list = qw( f a d e z x c b ); sub in_order { my $state = 1; our( $a, $b ); my $ordered = reduce { if( $state and $b lt $a ) { $state = undef; } + $b } @_; return $state; } my $shuffles = 0; my @ordered = @list; my %memory; until ( in_order( @ordered ) ) { $memory{ join("\0",@ordered) } = 1; while( 1 ) { @ordered = shuffle( @list ); $shuffles++; last unless $memory{ join("\0",@ordered) }; } } print "took $shuffles shuffles to get\n\t", join( "\n\t", @ordered ), +"\n"; exit 0; __END__

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
