I’m working on the random quote generator, and I’m having trouble with getting a new random quote to appear when the button is clicked. When I console.log I see that it is generating the same quote over and over. My code is as followed:
// Defining new quotes to be uesd
var newQuotes = [
"It was all a dream/ I used to read Word Up! magazine/Salt-N-Peppa and Heavy D up in the limosine...",
"Funny how money change a situation/miscommunication leads to complication...",
"I came though the door, I said it before/I never let the mic magnetize me no more/but it's biting me, fighting me, inviting me to ryme/I can't hold it back, I'm looking for the line...",
"I never knew a l-l-love like this/gotta be something for me to write this...",
"My dear, my dear, my dear, you do not know me but I know you very well/ Now let me tell you about the feelings I have for you/ When I try, or make some sort of attempt, I symp/ Damn I wish I wasn't such a wimp...",
"...Dead in the middle of Little Italy, little did we know,that we riddled two middlemen who didn't do diddily...",
"I see no changes all I see is racist faces/ Misplaced hate makes disgrace to races/ We under I wonder what it takes to make this/ One better place, let's erase the wasted...",
"Just think, what if you could just, just blink yourself away?/ Just think, what if you could just, just blink yourself away?/ Jeff X can rock the mic with tooth decay/ I be the 5 foot 7, residing at the Mecca, rest address in south section...",
"...Now who's these kings of these rude ludicrous lucrative lyrics/ Who could inherit the title, put the youth in hysterics...",
"...I'm representin' for the seat where Rosa Parks sat/ Where Malcolm X was shot, where Martin Luther was popped/ So off we go, let the trumpets blow/ And hold on, because the driver of the mission is a pro-The ruler's back"
];
// generating a random number
var randomNumber = Math.floor(Math.random() * newQuotes.length);
// defining random quotes
var randomQuote = newQuotes[randomNumber];
// making the random quote appear when newQuote button is clicked
$("#newQuote").on('click', function() {
for (var i = 0; i < newQuotes.length; i++) {
console.log(randomQuote);
}
});
Knowing me it could be something simple like a missing semicolon or something, but any help will be greatly appreciated.
