Please forgive me if my terminology is way off... I'm only a few days into iPhone programming...

I'm working on a program based on the SimpleDrillDown template from Apple. For each screen that is selected I am trying to make random text appear. I am able to get random text to show, but when I go back to the plays screen and select the same category the random integer that is chosen is fixed until I relaunch the app. Can I force the random selection to run again?

I'm using the following code in DataController.m...

Code:
NSString * joke;
srand ( time(NULL) );
	iRandom = rand() % 3 + 1;
	if (iRandom == 1) { textToDisplay = @"one"; }
	if (iRandom == 2) { textToDisplay = @"two"; }
	if (iRandom == 3) { textToDisplay = @"three"; }

Thank you for your help! I'm excited to work in the world of iPhone programming!
 
The code is in DataController.h under data management
Doubtful. .h files don't normally contain method execution code, just declarations. Also, you still haven't answered the question: in which method does this code reside?
