What would be a good way to approach this?

Hi Guys,

I am currently creating a random quote generator. I was wondering what would be the best way to show one quote at a time on my page. I have all of my quotes in an array. I am displaying the quotes from the array based off of a random number that I have created.

Here is my CodePen: https://codepen.io/Nathan-Callum-Marshall/pen/rrapGQ

Help would be appreciated thanks,

Nathan

One easy technique would be to hide all the quotes right before you display the new one in"showQuote":

  for (q of quotes) q.style.display = "none";

Thanks, Steven Parker. I didn't know that you could declare the contents of an array as a variable like that.
