    where a is an array object, the function randomInt(x) chooses a random integer between 1 and x, inclusive, and swapEntries(i, j) swaps the ith and jth entries in the array. In the preceding example, 52 and 53 are magic numbers, also not clearly related to each other. It is considered better programming style to write the following:
