Default NSArray help

Hello, i'm working on a very very simple app that basically you click a button and it displays a random text, from a NSArray.

I will have a seperate nsarray for every button as they will need to use different "word banks" but i'm wondering how i would change the text to a random option from a specified nsarray.

Code:
int randomIndex = arc4random % [stringsArray count];
NSString* randomString = [stringsArray objectAtIndex: randomIndex];
