Random Select ?

Tetsugen

Looking for some sort of application that allows you to enter 5-10 items and then randomly selects one. Does this exist or am I just asking too much ?

falsedef

What do you mean by "items"? Just the name of an item?

Could you use a dice instead?

falsedef

<script>
var item = prompt("Item? Enter nothing to stop", "");
var arr = new Array();

while( item != "" ){
    arr.push( item );
    item =  prompt("Item? Enter nothing to stop", "");
}
do {
    var rand = Math.random();
    rand = rand * arr.length;
    var conf = confirm("A rand item out of " + arr.length + " items :\n\n" + arr[((Math.floor(rand)%arr.length))] + "\n\nAnother?");
} while( conf )
</script>

Stick that code in an HTML file. Reload when you want a new set.

It'll also randomly delete your harddrive, for extra fun.

Didn't look like a homework question, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered with code.

If it is, then it's a really bad question, even for cheating.
