回头看酷壳上那篇《一些有意思的算法代码》，在清单上看到第一条是Binomial Heap，回想一下好像是算法导论里刚刚研习过的内容，对，是二项堆，特别想看看具体的实现，点开链接看到满满的注释，顿时幸福洋溢。再看作者，Keith Schwarz，他是一个斯坦福大学计算机科学系的讲师，在自己的网站放了一些自己实现的算法和数据结构，觉得挺好的，有空可以去看看，这是链接：http://www.keithschwarz.com/interesting/。
改天再谈谈二项堆的内容，今天先贴一个应该是其中最短的代码，Random Shuffle随机洗牌，随便学习一下算法和C++。（这位老师还非常愿意分享自己的代码，只是注满注释的代码显得太长了）
代码注释很多也很浅显，就不翻译了。虽说核心的代码就两行，但是里面的所有内容还是很应该学习的，比如，可以在自选范围内进行随机排列，可以传入自定义的随机数产生算法，使用了模板这样任何数据类型都可以进行排列。这个算法核心的意思也就一句话来概括：随机选取一个数组元素，和第一个元素进行交换，然后继续按照这种方法处理剩下的数组元素，只需要线性时间和常量空间即可。
这里面还有一点没有想到的是，在函数参数列表里居然可以传入函数名称，然后在里面执行这个传入的函数，难道是函数指针，C++真是忘得差不多了。

* File: RandomShuffle.hh
* Author: Keith Schwarz (htiek@cs.stanford.edu)
*
* An implemention of a function for randomly permuting the elements of a
* sorted range. The algorithm is an implementation of the Fisher-Yates
* shuffle (also called the Knuth shuffle), which works by randomly selecting
* an element from the the array and swapping it to the front, then recursively
* repeating the process on the rest of the array. It runs in linear time
* and with only constant space.
*
* This implementation, by default, works using the system rand function,
* which is not ideal if cryptographic randomness is desired. Consequently,
* like the STL algorithm random_shuffle, the algorithm allows for a custom
* random generator to be passed into the function.
