I have made a code where when you tap on the image random text pops up from 1 of these cases. However, it does work, but very time you launch the application the text pops up in the same order.
Please help.
||Heres the code I use||
Code:
#import "Image.h"
@implementation Image
-(void) touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
int randomNumber = rand() % 41; //change for amount of cases
switch (randomNumber) {
case 0:
textview.text = @"YOU WILL BE VISITED BY AN UNINVITED GUEST";
break;
case 1:
textview.text = @"NOBODY CAN HELP YOU NOW";

Rand returns pseudo-random numbers determined by the initial seed value and the number of times rand has been called.
I believe that value is defaulted to 1. Try to seed it with something like the current time to get a more random effect.
Code:
srandom(time(NULL));
You may want to also check out arc4random() and see if that may fit your needs as well.
arc4random() generates much better random numbers, and is self-seeding. rand() has problems. Specifically, the lower bits of rand() are subject to repeating patterns, which makes it really bad in the typical use where you take the modulo of a random value.
Check out this password generator app that shows various techniques including using a data container singleton object to share data between objects in your project.

Thanks, that solved the problem that I was having.

By the way, a giant case statement is a pretty painful way to do this. It's cleaner and easier to save your strings into an array, and then use the random number to index into the array:
Code:
self.stringsArray = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:
@"YOU WILL BE VISITED BY AN UNINVITED GUEST",
@"NOBODY CAN HELP YOU NOW",
@"JOY IS ALL AROUND YOU, YOU JUST HAVE TO LOOK",
@"DANGER IS ON YOUR PATH",
@"LOVE WILL FIND YOU, BUT WILL YOU CHOOSE TO ACCEPT IT?",
nil];
NSUInteger index = arc4random() %[stringsArray count]
textView.text = [stringsArray objectAtIndex: index;
