Using a loop for repeating steps

I need some help with a loop. i have codes here:
RandomArray= randi([-100 100],20,5); % step 1
RandomArray=sort(RandomArray(:)); % step 2
RandomArray = reshape(RandomArray,5,20).';
y=mean(RandomArray,2); % step 3
[c,index] = min(abs(y-0)); % determines which row is closest to 0
RowNumber= index;
I have to repeat these steps 1000 times then plot RowNumber in a histogram. I know I can use a FOR loop but i'm a bit lost on how to assign the codes. Can someone help? please and thank you.

Repeat these steps 1000 times and then do what with the results? Save everything into multi-dimensional arrays? Save only the index? Save only the rows associated with the index? Or what?

then plot RowNumber in a histogram. *updated the question
Is this what you want to do?
N = 1000;
RowNumber = zeros(N,1);
for kk=1:N
RandomArray= randi([-100 100],20,5); % step 1
RandomArray=sort(RandomArray(:)); % step 2
RandomArray = reshape(RandomArray,5,20).';
y=mean(RandomArray,2); % step 3
[c,index] = min(abs(y-0));
RowNumber(kk) = index;
end
% Plot histogram
histogram(RowNumber);

Yes! i was mainly lost on where to put the kk. thanks!

Just in case, let me copy&paste my comment to the answer section.
N = 1000;
RowNumber = zeros(N,1);
for kk=1:N
RandomArray= randi([-100 100],20,5); % step 1
RandomArray=sort(RandomArray(:)); % step 2
RandomArray = reshape(RandomArray,5,20).';
y=mean(RandomArray,2); % step 3
[c,index] = min(abs(y-0));
RowNumber(kk) = index;
end
% Plot histogram
histogram(RowNumber);

+1. Omit the funny "-0" from min(abs(y-0)).
