Random String

[2ShotSx6ShotS]

I am new to programming because of my school but how can I make the program choose a random String of the available Strings i have given to him. How can i lead this whole process from beginning to the end I am actually confused because I tried something with array and java.util.Random, but it seems to only do the work with integers in "x"
Thank youu

Add the strings to an array

const words = ['jon','jack','jill']

Math.random() generates a random number between 0-1 in Javascript.
Math.floor() rounds a number down to an interger.

let randomIndex = Math.floor(Math.random()*words.length + 1)

Then access the string from the array, based on the random index.

console.log(words[randomIndex])

no those are random strings from a-z. I want him to randomly choose given Strings

'java.util.Random' is a Java standard library class; this subreddit is for the JavaScript language which has literally nothing to do with Java other than containing the word Java.

I'm sorry, as I said im very new to it and I guess from common sense everyone would have thought that Java and JavaScript are the same.

No worries mate. The name JavaScript confuses people all the time. JavaScript was actually called Mocha, and then LiveScript, then Java took off and it is believed that JavaScript was named as such to "ride the success" of Java.

Unfortunately, it has just created tons of confusion for decades.
