I told about no more ability at the programing previous time but if it had no choice then i would be faced to get someone has my coding for my simulation prog. Short time, maybe i can't make myself to coding for my simulation.

I think that you can quickly accomplish this by assigning ordinately the requested numbers to an array and then randomly scrambling the array itself.

By your definition I guessed the set composed by all the numbers ranging from 0 to 10000. Maybe my guess was wrong, let me know it.

Now the task is clear; unfortunately I have no good idea (in fact no idea at all) about

There is a brute force way to arrange these, but it is easier to describe a randomiser:

1. Start with the set of 10,000 numbers in order.
2. Generate a set of swap commands, swap the ith element with one n places away, i in [0,10000) n in [1,10000) with circular referencing. If the swap is within 10 places it always happens, if 10 - 99 places then it swaps with the nearest element in the range 10 - 99 with the same LSB, if 100 - 999 then to the nearest element with the same 2 LSB etc...
continue random swaps until the set is randomised.


To arrange by brute force:

1. generate 10000 random LSB so that each group of 10 contains {0,..,9}
2. for each group of 100 LSB's generate a random group of 100 next LSB's (i.e. 10 '0's, 10'1's etc) call these {Ai}. Assign these Ai as follows - Assign Ao to the first number. Then assign Ai with the lowest i such that the number formed by the two LSBs is not already in this group.
3. Do the same for the next LSB assigning 1000 numbers etc ..

Unless you have RAM issues, generate two arrays each of 2 million integers:

a[i] being the randomised numbers
b[j] such that b[a[i]] = i
