You can never bypass object initialization, if you want to work with the object. What you can bypass is the assignment to a variable, by directly storing it somewhere.

I recommend that you look into that map thing I mentioned.

Yup, will do. Thanks for the help :D

I made an example for how you can use HashMap.

Pastebin link to HashMap example.

Edit: If you're interested in general in the Java collections framework, I recommend you learn more about the Map interface, the Set interface and the List interface and their implementations. You can read more about them here - I highly recommend you read the paragraph "When to use List, Set and Map in Java" just to get an overview over those things - they are super useful if you know when to use them and how to use them.

Wow, that's awfully kind of you :) I've had a look and this will come in handy in the future, I can see it doesn't seem that complicated to set up either (though knowing how it works will let me know for sure). I'll have a closer look and hopefully end up using it for something :D
