    Fork of the awesome Fisher–Yates shuffle by tsaniel

Shuffle an array using the Pencil-and-paper method
I made it 12 bytes smaller by using a for/in loop

  
## annotated.js
function(
	a, // an array
	b  // placeholder
){
	for(b in a)a.push(a.splice(Math.random()*b,1))
        //take out a random piece of the array and append it to the end.
        //this works because the splice method returns the piece it removes.
}

## index.js
function(a,b){for(b=a.length;b;)a.push(a.splice(Math.random()*b--,1)[0])}
function(a,b){for(b in a)a.push(a.splice(Math.random()*b,1));return a}
function(a,b){for(b in a)a.push(a.splice(Math.random()*b,1))}
function(a){a.sort(function(){return .5-Math.random()})}

//legend:
//1. the original
//2. the fork with return (the original function doesn't return a, I think it should)
//3. the fork without return (less practical, but it's smaller)
//4. other method that is slightly smaller (not the same method as the original)
