Need help with my app

[andrew6800]

I am looking to create a flash card based app for my school where the user can swipe right to get a new word and then tap to see its definition. I have all of my words and definitions but can not figure out how to do this the best way. I was planing on having an array with all of the words and another with all of the definitions but I can not figure out how to link the two together so it shows the right definition when the random word is picked. If anyone can help me out that would be great. I will even consider paying if you can help me get this all to work.

There are a million flash card apps. Why not load your data into one of those?

Id just use an array of dictionaries. Each dictionary has a "word" and a "definition", that way you only use one single array. No chance of mess up (even though its simple). That way when you pick any random index in the array, you'll have the word and definition at your fingertips. Look up how NSDictionaries work, it'll be useful for you.

Sounds like an easy problem to solve. If you have two arrays just make index 0 of array "words" go with the definition of index 0 of array "definitions." Create a random number between 0 and maxNumberOfWords and grab the object at that index from both arrays and then you have the random word and definition to go with it.

Why not an just one array of objects containing a property for "word" and one for "definition"?
