that is a lot of work to do two things. 1) create an enumerable of a series of integers 2) shuffle any enumerable of any type

your code only works for a very specialized case.

This topic was discussed not too long ago in this thread. In post #8, I offered a solution using generics that will shuffle an array. Thus, you can easily create a 42-element array, initialize each element (inside a for() loop), and then hand the array off to be shuffled. This guarantees each value will appear once, and only once, within the array.

your use of generics allows you to shuffle any type of array. my class allows for any type and any container to be shuffled. my series class is really not part of the exercise.
