```
import java.util.*;public class MyClass {    public static void main(String args[]) {    int[] array = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 };    Random rand = new Random();    for (int i = 0; i < array.length; i++) {     int randomIndexToSwap = rand.nextInt(array.length);     int temp = array[randomIndexToSwap];     array[randomIndexToSwap] = array[i];     array[i] = temp;    }        System.out.println(Arrays.toString(array));    }}
```

In this program array element place can't be same.

Output.

[2, 6, 4, 1, 7, 3, 5]
