Create a Typewriter Effect with another Variable
Question
I am looking to make a typewriter effect using a Variable. My Variable will select a random string listed to write. I want it to list the string the same way, but i want it to use the typewriter effect to do it!
No matter where i look, i cannot find an answer on how to make the typewriter effect, it will not type the function! I want it to type a random text based on the variable! Thanks!
this is my code.

Well your randomText function doesn't return anything. So the variable txt is always undefined . You need to add return sayWhat at the end of your randomText function.
Furthermore in your typeWriter function you are appending the actual index of the letter not the letter itself. By replacing += (i) with += txt[i] that is solved aswell.
If you don't want to show the initial value you need to remove the document.write line aswell.
