Re: Randomly outputting an array

What would be the simplest way to output an array in random order, but
every element in the array MUST be outputted and the elements cannot

That depends on your definition of 'simplest' and 'random'. A simple -
but probably far from effective - method would be to just shuffle the
array some time by swapping random elements, and then print all the
elements in sequence.
