If statements in xcode

In my app, when the user shakes the device a word from an array is shown in a label (very similar to the crystal ball app).

How would I then make a message appear in another label if a certain word appears.

E.G. label 1 will say "treehouse" label 2 will say "welcome" but only if label 1 says those specific words.

Hope this is clear and understandable. Thanks

One way of doing this would be to check the text of label1 using the -isEqualToString: method after it's been set, and then set label2 accordingly.

if ([label1.text isEqualToString:@"treehouse"]) {
    label2.text = @"welcome";
}

Where does the code need to go?

I would put it in the shake method, after label1 has been set.
