I would like to generate 2000 random numbers between 1 and 10 such that for each random number I have the same number of instances.

In this case 200 for each number.

What should be random is the order in which it is generated.

I have the following problem:

I have an array with 2000 entries but not each with unique values, for example it starts like this:

11112233333333344445667777777777

and consists of 2000 entries.

I would like to generate random numbers and assign each UNIQUE value a separate random number but have an entry for each value

So my intended result would look like this:

original array: 11112233333333344445667777777777
random numbers: 33334466666666699991778888888888
