Hi!

I have a list of variables:
vars = {a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i}

and a list of numbers:
numbers = Range[9]

Now i'd like to choose randomly a variable and a number. and then i'd 
like to assign the number to the variable.
I thought of somehting like that:

vars[[Random[Integer, {1, Length[vars]}]]] =
numbers[[Random[Integer, {1, Length[numbers]}]]]

but it doesn't work.

i hope you have an idea!

thank you for answering!

MFG Ben
