rand(array.length) # returns random index <br>
array[rand(array.length)] # returns random array object
I can't understand the logic behind. I would assume that second example also returns random index and then store it in array.
kitty = [100,102,104,105]
rand(kitty.length) # returns index, for example 3 ( or 0,1,2 )
array[rand(kitty.length)] # returns random array object, for example 104 ( or 100,102,105)
While array.sample would be the best way to get a random element from an array, I believe OP is asking how the chaining of methods works.
When you call: rand(array.length) a number is returned, true. However in the case of:
array[ rand(array.length) ]
a number is returned but then fed immediately into the array call, which gives you the object at that array index.
