Which code language for my project?

Hi, So I want to build a project and but I’m not sure which computer language would be best for it. My project is based a lot on ratios and randomisation selecting. To explain I have a lot of statistical data that I have converted into ratios for example 1 in 6 = A , 2 in 3 = B. then I want the code to randomly select B or A depending the ratio eg B would be selected more than A because the ratio is higher. Im guessing I would use HTML and CSS for the design but then im not sure which one for the animation. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Melissa

I think JavaScript would be a great choice for this project. It's got the features you're looking for and it's one of the more approachable programming languages coming from a design perspective. A great place to start is the JavaScript Basics course right here on Treehouse.

Good luck with your project! :)
