var item = items[Math.floor(Math.random()*items.length)];

2. Randomly take several elements from the random array in the previous article

var shuffled = arr.slice(0), i = arr.length, min = i - count, temp, index;
while (i-- > min) {
index = Math.floor((i + 1) * Math.random());
temp = shuffled[index];
shuffled[index] = shuffled[i];
shuffled[i] = temp;
}

}
