Please learn to search. A simple lookup of "random nsarray" would yield you many results - sudo rm -rf 2012-04-04 04:30

use rand(), random() or arc4random() functio - Hiren 2012-04-04 04:36

answers are everywhere, just learn to find them : - Bazinga 2012-04-04 07:31

you can generate a random number between 0 and array size -1
use the number to index the array
remove item at the array index

sample code:

int i = arc4random() % 4;
NSString value = [arr objectAtIndex: i]
[arr removeObjectAtIndex: i];

repeat the steps till you have an empty array.
