    is there any code that you have written that you need help with? – Ma0 Sep 04 '18 at 06:39
  • i dont know how to swap element – Rohitjojo09 Sep 04 '18 at 06:40
  • `temp = list_1[i]; list_1[i] = list_1[j]; list_1[j] = temp` – Ma0 Sep 04 '18 at 06:43
  • I had this exact question - formatted like this as well just a few days ago. It was put on hold then IIRC. Either you are taking the same course or you posted a dupe of a deleted question ... – Patrick Artner Sep 04 '18 at 06:47

For your question's title:

As a full program

from random import sample
print(sample((s:=eval(input())),len(s)))

Explanation

from random import sample             Imports the sample function only in order to preserve speed.
print(                                Print out ...
      sample(                         Shuffle randomly this list...
             (s:=                     Python 3.8's assignment eval (assign to s while still evaling)
                  eval(input())       Evalulate the input, which is a Python list
             ),
             len(                     Take the length of ...
                  s                   the input
             )
      )

For your first question in the body of your question:

You cannot sort a list using the random module, as it is for random functions, not for sorting. However, you can use Python's sorted() function, which sorts a list.

As a full program

print(sorted(eval(input())))

Explanation

print(                          Print out ...
      sorted(                   The sorted version of ...
             eval(              The evaluated version of ...
                  input()       The input
             )
      )
)

As an anonymous lambda

lambda x:sorted(x)

Explanation

lambda x:                        Declare a lambda with one argument, x
         sorted(                 Return the sorted value of...
                x                The lambda's argument
         )
