How to log a random string from an array with a button?

Good evening everyone, I'm trying to create a function that can print a random quote from a variety of quotes in an array with the press of a button. For example: If I have an array like this: let quotes = ["To be or not to be", "Love yourself", "Be strong"] How do I create a function that can print one of those quotes randomly each time I press a button in Javascript? I'd prefer to not use any jQuery for this exercise. Thank you so much!

Well, you can use the random function of the Math class to select an integer between 0 and length of the quotes array to represent a random index to be selected. Something like this: function select() { console.log(quotes[Math.floor(Math.random() * quotes.length)] ) }
