my code isn't working

[glacial anvil]

it is only printing "b" instead of printing "a" sometimes to. what should i do?

button.Touched:Connect(function()
    local numbers = {
        ["a1"] = 1,
        ["a2"] = 2,
        ["a3"] = 3,
    }
    
    local i = math.random(1, 3)
    local randomNumber = numbers[i]
    
    if randomNumber == 1 then
        print("a")
    else
        print("b")
    end
end)

you cannot index numbers dictionary with a number because the keys inside numbers dictonary are strings

the randomNumber variable is a nil

oh i see

thank you a lot

i also wanted to change the "3" inside math.random to some variable so i could change the max of random nunbers with a certain condition

but i think math.random doesnt accept variables inside

[eager osprey]

it does accept variables

it doesnt matter if its variable or not, it just has to be a number

[glacial anvil]

before i have used a variable that was equal the number of items inside numbers (like #numbers) and it was not working
