I'm currently testing things out and I'm wondering if you can get a random string from a table?

Like from a table:


local table = {"string1", "string2", "string3"}

And only one of those strings..

Can you do that? And if so, how?

local table = {"string1","string2","string3")
local randomString = table[math.random(#table)]
