Get a random value from an Array

Question

I have an array consisting of five values as such:

var myArray = ["Hi", "Hello", "Yes", "No", "10"]

I'm trying to get a value printed on random, so i've added this:

var rand = myArray[Math.floor(Math.random() * myArray.length)];

But I'm unsure on where to put it. Anyone got better ideas on how to figure this one out?

where do you like to get the result?

You could assign the random string to an element of DOM.

var myArray = ["Hi", "Hello", "Yes", "No", "10"]
var rand = myArray[Math.floor(Math.random() * myArray.length)];

document.getElementById('out').innerHTML = rand;

<div id="out"></div>
