This is, of course, true, but I still consider my suggestion to be
sufficient for the OP's sorting exercise [1]. On the other hand: a few
duplicates might be useful to prove that the sorting algorithm can deal
with them.

[1] The rand() function is -- like any deterministic algorithm -- not
truly random either.
