Help with Table.Random?

[etc2002]

Hello, so I am trying to ask how to get the output of table.random and use it?
Here is my code:

hook.Add( "PlayerSay", "Class12", function( ply, text, public )
	text = string.lower( text )
	if ( text == "/house" ) and ply:IsUserGroup("user") then
	house = { "Hufflepuff", "Ravenclaw", "Slytherin", "Gryffindor" }
	ply:ChatPrint(house[math.random( 1, #house )])
	if ---- this is where i need help, what do i type here to say if (random output) = "Hufflepuff" then *insert code*?
	end
	end
end )

Any help would be much appreciated!
And in case you are wondering, this is a part of a hogwarts rp script i'm making.

local val, key = table.Random(tbl)
print(key, "=", val)

Assign the random value a variable instead, i.e.

local randName = house[math.random(#house)]

ply:ChatPrint(randName)

if randName == "Hufflepuff" then
  -- do shit
end

Also use local variables instead of globals.

You shouldn't use this function for sequential tables, even the wiki page states this.

Thanks for the help! I got it working. The code I used was

if (table.Random( house ) == "Hufflepuff") then
	ply:ChatPrint("You have been selected for the Hufflepuff house!")
	RunConsoleCommand( "Addwhitelist", "Console", ply:SteamID64(), ply:Nick(), "Hufflepuff" )
	RunConsoleCommand( "ulx", "adduser", ply:Nick(), "member" )
	end
