Jquery Randomizing within Categories

so here is my question in a situation if you will. i have 6 items in div c开发者_如何学JAVAlasses which correspond to 3 categories something like this

class ="boat"
class ="car"
class ="bike"
class ="blueboat"
class ="redcar"
class ="greenbike"

so is there a jquery/javascript approach with .addClass where when someone clicks on the button "Randomize" it adds class .mine to each one of the 3 categories ie blueboat.mine and redcar.mine and bike.mine but not boat or car or greenbike because they are in the same category?

Or another situation rather than .addClass use a jquery/javascript so when "Randomize" is clicked to randomly show 3 out of 6 items one in each category of boat, car, bike and hide the rest blueboat, redcar, greenbike. in this situation all 6 items are on the page when document is ready but with the randomize only 3 are left one from each category.

please let me know if anyone has any ideas or needs further clarification any help is greatly appreciated.

thank you -david

edit: maybe this image will help out https://dl-web.dropbox.com/get/rand.jpg?w=fc89ef22 I have added three categories A/B/C in those categories i have three items, A)car,boat,bike B)dog,cat,mouse C)Apple, Orange,Kiwi.. so when user clicks Randomize it randomly selects one item from each category (A,B,C) and adds the class .mine to each one of them. so i random and get car,dog,orange (.mine) for each. then i click randomize again and get something else ie: boat,mouse,kiwi there is a possible only 27 combinations for this idea... i hope this clarifies my intents..hopefully it did not complicate matters more.

may be this helps DEMO

update

you can use toggle see the EXAMPLE

take a look here Demo

Here i change the background color of divs which have class car, bike and boat

Reference

Please clarify it a bit, what are the three categoires, if classes are of 6 items

let there categories means 3 classes, "bike" , "boat" , "car", for specialization you should add specific class to this like "red bike", instead of "redBike"

According to my assumption this is the answer,

function (){
   var category = ["car" , "boat" , "bike"];
   for( var i = 0 ; i < 3 ; i++){
    var rand = Math.floor( Math.random() * 2);
    $( "div#id ." +  category[i]).eq(rand).addClass("highlight"); 
   }
   }
