Choose a random item from a table

Question

My goal is to pick out a random item from a table in Lua.

This is what I\'ve got so far, but it currently does not work:

local myTable = { \'a\', \'b\',          


        

Answer 1

table = {'Apple', 'Banana', 'Orange', 'Watermelon' , 'lychee'} --my table have 5 item.

rand= math.random(1~5) --create a random number numbers 1 to 5 if more than 5 then the value is nil.

print(rand)
print(table[rand]) --unite the random number and item it will display 5 random items in the table.
