How to return random strings from an array [duplicate]

Question

Could someone help me with this problem? i am trying to return random strings from an array. here is my code:

function getComputerChoice() {
  const Mystring = ['rock', 'paper', 'scissors'];
  const random = Math.floor(Math.random() * 3);
}

console.log(getComputerChoice());

I declared my variables: "Mystring" which contains the array of strings and "random" that contains the Math.random() function but am lost on the next steps. Would really appreciate if someones points me in the right direction.

Also, please see Why is "Can someone help me" not an actual question?. Tl;dr you have to show your work and ask a specific question. Also, what do you mean by "the final method"? — David Makogon

Need to return Mystring[random]. Very slight coding practice improvement would be to use Mystring.length instead of 3.

function getComputerChoice() {
  const Mystring = ['rock', 'paper', 'scissors'];
  const random = Math.floor(Math.random() * Mystring.length);
  return Mystring[random]
}

console.log(getComputerChoice());
