Hey guys,

I’m pretty green on coding, but I have managed to make go through a bunch of forums to figure out how to make a random word generator using the code below. It works a charm, but I am hoping to find a way to make it not repeat any of the words in the array.

Here is the code:

export function button42_click_1 ( event ) {

const ArrayList = [
‘LAUGHING SO HARD YOU PEE’ ,
‘REVERSE PARALLEL PARKING’ ,
‘DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS’ ,
‘BORAT IMPERSONATIONS’ ,
‘EXISTENTIAL DREAD’ ,
‘STUBBING YOUR TOE’ ,
‘DOING THE WORM’ ,
‘THIRD WHEELING’ ,
‘JOINING A CULT’ ,
‘FLAT EARTHERS’ ,
‘DANCE BATTLES’ ,
‘FINGER GUNS’ ,
‘CAPITALISM’ ,
‘WITCHCRAFT’ ,
‘CATFISHING’ ,
‘CRAFT BEER’ ,
‘ASTROLOGY’ ,
‘COMMUNISM’ ,
‘STREAKING’ ,
‘FLIRTING’ ,
‘BAGPIPES’ ,
‘GODZILLA’ ,
‘PUBERTY’ ,
‘BIGFOOT’ ,
‘COOTIES’ ,

];

const randomIndex = Math . floor ( Math . random () * ( ArrayList . length ));
$w ( ‘#text48’ ). text = ArrayList [ randomIndex ];

}

Thanks in advance for any help you can give!
(Ignore the weird words hahaha)

change the line before the end to be:

$w('#text48').text = ArrayList.splice(randomIndex,1)[0];

It should take the random word out of the array while assigning it to the text element;

Hey JD,

Thanks heaps for the response. It definitely seems like it’s repeating less, which is great! But it still seems like it’s repeating.

I am using both:

export function button41_click ( event ) {

const ArrayList =
[
‘1’ ,
‘2’ ,
‘3’ ,
‘4’ ,
‘5’ ,
];

    **const**  randomIndex  =  Math . floor ( Math . random () * ( ArrayList . length )); 
    $w ( '#text48' ). text  =  ArrayList [ randomIndex ]; 
    $w ( '#text48' ). text  =  ArrayList . splice ( randomIndex , 1 )[ 0 ];

}

and

export function button41_click ( event ) {

const ArrayList =
[
‘1’ ,
‘2’ ,
‘3’ ,
‘4’ ,
‘5’ ,
];

    **const**  randomIndex  =  Math . floor ( Math . random () * ( ArrayList . length )); 
    $w ( '#text48' ). text  =  ArrayList . splice ( randomIndex , 1 )[ 0 ];

}

In my testing and it doesn’t seem to be doing anything different.

Thanks again for any help you can give.

Yes. I had to mention it. Put the array declaration itself in the global scope (outside the onClick function).

Mate, you are an absolute wizard! Thank you so much!
