So let's do the coding.

Before we get started:

Here is the link for the template that i used for the layout design https://getbootstrap.com/.

Creating The Interface

This is where we will create a simple interface for our application. This code will only display the html content and the buttons. To create this simply copy and write it into your text editor, then save it as index.html.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
	<head>
		<meta charset="UTF-8" name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1"/>
		<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/bootstrap.css"/>
	</head>
<body>
	<nav class="navbar navbar-default">
		<div class="container-fluid">
			<a class="navbar-brand" href="https://sourcecodester.com">Sourcecodester</a>
		</div>
	</nav>
	<div class="col-md-3"></div>
	<div class="col-md-6 well">
		<h3 class="text-primary">How to Display Random Player Name</h3>
		<hr style="border-top:1px dotted #ccc;"/>
		<div class="col-md-8">
			<div id="result"></div>
		</div>
		<div class="col-md-4">
			<center><button class="btn btn-success" onclick="displayRandom()">Display Name</button> <a href="index.html" class="btn btn-danger">Reset</a></center>
		</div>
	</div>
<script src="script.js"></script>
</body>
</html>

Creating JavaScript Function

This is where the main function of the application is. This code will display a random player name when the button is clicked. To do this just copy and write these block of codes inside the text editor and save it as script.js.

let count=1;
 
function displayRandom(){
	let html;
	var firstname = ["Kiryu", "John", "Peter", "Wendell", "Claire", "Jake"];
	var lastname= ["Choco", "Smith", "Pan", "Twenties", "Temple", "Pavel"];
	let rand_first = Math.floor(Math.random()*firstname.length); 
	let rand_last = Math.floor(Math.random()*lastname.length); 
	html="<h5>Player "+count+"</h5>"
	+"<h3>"+firstname[rand_first]+" "+lastname[rand_last]+"</h3>"
	+"<hr style='border-top:0.5px dashed #000;'/>";
	document.getElementById('result').innerHTML+=html;
 
	count++;
 
 
}

In the code a above we just simple create only one method called displayRandom(), this function will display a random name when the event is triggered. The function is compose of randomization that will randomize the name of the player from first to last name. This method use Math.random to generate a random result base on the index positioning of the names.
