How to call random string from an array on Java?

Question

String[] prompts = {"Describe to me in a sentence why this is a cool program.", 
                    "Describe to me in a sentence how your day was.", 
                    "Describe to me in a sentence what programming means to you.", 
                    "Describe to me in a sentence why food is neccessary for humans."};

Just need to randomly generate an index in the range of your array length

int i = new Random().nextInt(prompts.length);
System.out.println(prompts[i]);
