Trying to generate a set of strings such as 'TCP', 'DNS' or 'SQL' I want to be able to have these strings set and be able to have them appear randomly like you would with random numbers.

    Please specify what do you mean by 'set strings'. Are they all three-letter computer terminologies? – KeroppiMomo Mar 23 '19 at 00:25
  • Just use an array and Math.random to choose and index, for example `['TCP', 'DNS', 'SQL'][Math.floor(Math.random()*3)]`. – robinsax Mar 23 '19 at 00:25

    Shuffle the array and when adding a question better to add your code snippet. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6274339/how-can-i-shuffle-an-array – Harshana Mar 23 '19 at 00:31

You can make an array and select them randomly:

const strings = ['TCP', 'DNS', 'SQL'];
for (var i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
  console.log(`Random string: ${strings[Math.floor(Math.random() * strings.length)]}`);
}
