pointing to an array

i was wondering is someone could give me a brief overview and maybe an example of how i would random pull out two vairiable from an array

for example:
i have an array stored with names= faceName[13]
and one with suits= suitName[4]

and i want to use a printf function to print out;(random faceName, random suitName.)

i am using srand and everything is stored in my array i just dont know too much about pointers to acces it.

You don't really need a pointer, you can just pull the element by number.

Code:

---

int array[N];
...
int rdm = array[rand() % N];

---

sth like the above, where rand() % N gives you a number from [0,N-1]

explain how to randomly pull the element by number?
