50 random unique elements from an array of 1000 elements?

The obvious (for me) way is to shuffle the array, then take the first fifty elements. This question has a good way to shuffle an array, and you can slicefirst fifty elements. This ensures that the items are unique.

So using the function there:

fisherYates(text);
text = text.slice(0, 50);

Fisher-Yates, , .

:

var old_arr = [0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9], new_array = [];

for (var i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
    var rand_elem = old_arr[Math.floor(Math.random() * old_arr.length)];

    if (arrIndex(old_arr[rand_elem], new_array) == -1) {
        new_array.push(rand_elem);
    } else {
        i--;
    }
}

function arrIndex(to_find, arr) {//own function for IE support
    if (Array.prototype.indexOf) {
        return arr.indexOf(to_find);
    }
    for (var i = 0, len = arr.length; i < len; i++) {
        if (i in arr && arr[i] === to_find) {
            return i;
        }
    }
    return -1;
}
