Array problem

Post subject:  Array problem

What is it you are trying to achieve?
I want to swap the values in an array. What I want to do is that say you have Test(1) that is "1":, Test(2) that is "2", Test(3) that is "3", Test(4), "4". You would swap the default values and when you implement code like:

put Test(1)
put Test(2)
put Test(3)
put Test(4)

It would output different sequences like 1,4,2,3, 2,4,3,1, etc...

What is the problem you are having?
I don't know how to.


Describe what you have tried to solve this problem
I tried using a loop and a random number.

I bet that you are looking to do something completely different than swapping values (generating a random sequence of unique numbers perhaps?), but what the hell...

start with the simplest case of having just two variables.
code:

var num_1 : int := 1
var num_2 : int := 2


how would you swap their values? Post your code. Or at least ideas.

No I do want to swap the values. I used the numbers as an example, what I really want to do is swap strings (4 of them).

Strings are just longer numbers. The question still stands.
