why is my console displaying my result as numbers insteadof the actual string in my array in the code below

Question

var arrayNames = ["Angela", "Ben", "Jenny", "Michael", "Chloe"];

function whosPaying(names) {
  var bigBoss = arrayNames.length;
  var ogaMi = Math.floor((Math.random() * bigBoss));

  return ogaMi + " is paying for the bill"
}

console.log(whosPaying());

Answer 1

The reason is you just get the index,not the element itself

so change

 var ogaMi = Math.floor((Math.random() * bigBoss));

to

 var ogaMi = arrayNames[Math.floor((Math.random() * bigBoss))];

var arrayNames = ["Angela", "Ben", "Jenny", "Michael", "Chloe"];

function whosPaying(names) {
  var bigBoss = arrayNames.length;
  var ogaMi = arrayNames[Math.floor((Math.random() * bigBoss))];

  return ogaMi + " is paying for the bill"
}

console.log(whosPaying());
