random for letter

How to use random for letters?

function asd()
bb = {"A", "B", "C", "F", "G"}
	for _, i in ipairs( bb ) do 
	z = 
	end
outputChatBox ( ""..z.."" )
end
addCommandHandler ( "ss", asd )

How to write correctly "z" for random from "bb"

function asd()
	local bb = {"A", "B", "C", "F", "G"}
	local z = ""
	for _, i in ipairs( bb ) do 
		z = i
	end
	outputChatBox(z)
end
addCommandHandler ( "ss", asd )

not working correctly, always output letter "G"

but i need random from "bb"

Example you type /ss and random output "B"

next time maybe "C" and etc

With your example, only the last letter is obtained "G"

One more question

local test1 = 1
local test2 = 2
local test3 = 3

local ot = 
outputChatBox ( ""..ot.."" )

How to use random with this code?

How do I make randomly choose one of the variables(test1 or test2 or test3) for "ot" ?

test = {
	[1] = 1,
	[2] = 2,
  	[3] = 3,
}

local ot = test[math.random(1, #test)]
outputChatBox(ot)
