This for That App

###Objectives:

• create and use arrays
• create and use variables
• create and use functions

###Activity: Students will build a "this for that" application that pulls words from array and combines them into strings

How to lead the lesson

Have you seen this website? It's the inspiration for this exercise. We're going to recreate a console version of this site. What does your startup do? Let's practice using arrays to find out!

• Write a function called randomThis() that picks a random "This" element from the array
• Write a function called randomThat() that picks a random "That" element from the array
• Write a function that prints a statement saying: "So.... your startup is basically like a like a this for that?" It should print a new statement each time the function is called.
