JavaScript Project - Random Quotes Generator

Introduction

In this project, we will create a simple Random Quotes Generator using JavaScript. The generator will randomly display quotes when the user clicks a button. This project is a great way to practice JavaScript functions, arrays, and event handling.

Project Overview

HTML Structure: Our first step is to create the HTML structure. We will need a section to display the quote and a button to generate a new quote. The basic structure is as follows:
```
<div id="quote-container">
    <p id="quote"></p>
    <button id="new-quote">Get New Quote</button>
</div>
```

Adding Quotes: Next, we will create an array of quotes. This array will hold all the quotes that we want to display. For example:

const quotes = [
    "The best way to predict your future is to create it.",
    "You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.",
    "Success is not how high you have climbed, but how you make a positive difference to the world.",
    "You must be the change you wish to see in the world."
];

JavaScript Logic: We will now write a function to generate a random quote. This function will be invoked when the button is clicked. The code will look like this:

function getRandomQuote() (
    const randomIndex = Math.floor(Math.random() * quotes.length);
    document.getElementById('quote').innerText = quotes[randomIndex];
)

document.getElementById('new-quote').addEventListener('click', getRandomQuote);

Styling (Optional): You can add some CSS to style your quote generator. This is optional, but it will enhance the appearance of your project. Here’s a basic example:

#quote-container (
    text-align: center;
    margin-top: 50px;
)

#quote (
    font-size: 24px;
    margin-bottom: 20px;
)

#new-quote (
    padding: 10px 20px;
    font-size: 16px;
    cursor: pointer;
)

Final Touches: Test your project in a web browser to ensure everything is working correctly. You should be able to click the button and see a new quote each time.

With these steps, you should have a fully functional Random Quotes Generator!
