How do I generate a list of n unique random numbers in Ruby?

Question

This is what I have so far:

myArray.map!{ rand(max) }

Obviously, however, sometimes the numbers in the list are not unique. How can I mak

Answer 1

You could use a hash to track the random numbers you've used so far:

seen = {}
max = 100
(1..10).map { |n|
  x = rand(max)
  while (seen[x]) 
    x = rand(max)
  end
  x
}
