var randomNr = Math.floor(Math.random() * quotes.length);
return randomNr;
}
getRandomNr();
document.getElementById('loadQuote2').addEventListener("click", printRandomQuote, false);
var viewedQuotes = []; // array to hold viewed quotes
function getRandomQuote() {
if (quotes.length == 0) // if empty, reload the main list
quotes = viewedQuotes.splice(0, viewedQuotes.length); // (and empty viewed list)
var randNum = Math.floor(Math.random() * quotes.length); // pick a quote at random
var quote = quotes.splice(randNum, 1)[0]; // take it out of the main list
viewedQuotes.push(quote); // now add it to the "viewed" list
return quote; // return the chosen quote
}
//getRandomQuote(quotes);
function printRandomQuote(){
//console.log('heloo');
