This JavaScript picks a number of unique random elements from an array.

For example; if you have an array myArray consisting of 10 elements and want to pick 5 unique random elements. Suppose initially myArray[3] is picked randomly, then myArray[3] will not be picked again.

If you want to pick 4 numbers, call the function like this : pickNums(4)
