Help with making a random sequence of numbers 1-26

-----------------------------------

hey everyone
So here is a code that will put 26 numbers (all ranging from 1-26)

var i:int
var number : array 1 .. 26 of int
for counter1: 1..26
randint (i,1,26)
put i
end for

now what i was wondering is how we can make the program put 26 numbers, each ranging from 1-26 but not repeat a number that it has already previously generated! in other words, how can i make it so that it puts 1-26 in a random sequence? 
thanks alot in advance!

I would do this
for i : 1 .. 26
    loop
        num (i) := Rand.Int (1, 26)
        for j: 1 .. i - 1
            check := num (k) = num (i)
        end for
        exit when check = false
        check := false % Reset if failed
    end loop
end for

they weren't giving you a working program, they were showing you the process so you can make your own...
