i cant seem to see if a word is picked from a array and set a respectful image beside it in swift2

im 9 years old so its kind of hard for me

Hello,

can you explain and maybe show some of your code ?

You want to pick a word from an array, right ?

So you have declared an array, like

var words = ["Cat", "Dog", "Cow"]

to pick a word, just ask with its number.

Take care, it starts at zero and here ends at 2

For instance:

let myWord = word[0]

will give you "Cat"

I understand you want to display an image corresponding to the word you selected ?

If so:

- you have defined a viewController.

- In Interface Builder, you should insert an UIImageView in the view

declare an IBOutlet in ViewController

@IBOutlet var wordImage : UIImageView!

- connect the object in the view to this IBOutlet in code

Now, you should explain how user select the word ?

Do you create a button for each word ?

Do you select in a picker.

Another solution ?

In anycase, you have to put images (png format) in your project. Call them Cat.png, Dog.png, Cow.png

The names must be exactly the same as the names in words array.

When you select a word, you will be able to display the image with :

wordImage.image = UIImage(named: myWord)

Once you have told, tell if you need more help.

The user clicks the button and it picks out a random word from the array using the ark 4 random

OK, that's a good solution.

So, in the IBAction of the button, you'll have :

let numberOfImages = words.count

let selection = Int(arc4random_uniform(UInt32(numberOfImages)))

let selectedWord = words[selection]

// Now you can set the image

wordImage.image = UIImage(named: selectedWord)

// Remember, you must have dragged the images into the XCode project

i also do have to add multiple images like if i got soccer from the array the image would have to be a soccer ball

my code is this

        showTheQuote()
        whichTodoToChoose = Int(arc4random_uniform(90))
    }
   
    func showTheQuote() {
        boredText.text = "\(todos[whichTodoToChoose])"
    }
   
    func chooseTextOnButton() {
        boredButton.setTitle("\(ButtonText[whichButtonTextToChoose])", forState: UIControlState.Normal)
    }
}

Unless you reuse the func elsewhere, you should avoid creating a function for each instruction.

It is valid code but it is much more difficult to read.

So, the action starts when you tap on boredButton

    @IBAction func BoredButtonTapped(sender: UIButton) {
    
        boredText.text = "\(todos[whichTodoToChoose])"    //     showTheQuote()             
        whichTodoToChoose = Int(arc4random_uniform(90))          //  chooseAQuote()
        boredButton.setTitle("\(ButtonText[whichButtonTextToChoose])", forState: UIControlState.Normal)      //    chooseTextOnButton()
    }

But you do not load any image here, you just set buttons title.

In addition, you show the quote before you choose the quote. Is it what you want ?

You do not set any image. Is it done elsewhere in code ?
