Execute a javascript function with html button?

Question

How would I execute this external javascript function with html?

function wordGen() {
var wordList = ["Array", "Function", "Boolean", "Null", "Undefined", "Number", "String", "Symbol", "Object"];
var rand = Math.floor(Math.random() * wordList.length);
return wordList[rand];
}

Answer 1

Use the onclick atrribute of the <button> tag.
One more thing to note is that the function returns a value and not actually print it on the screen..So I used console.log() function to show the value.
Feel free to ask if you don't understand :)

Answer 5

If you are attending a Bootcamp I will assume that you are not using Code Playground to create a website.

You will need to point to the external javascript file as an example-
<script> src="something.js"</script>
