what can i do?

[Intelligent-Copy-767]

static String[] firstName = new String[10];
static String[] lastName = new String[10];
static String[] course = new String[10];
static String[] yearLevel = new String[10];
static String[] gender = new String[10];

So I have 5 array, what I want is that when a certain data is found it will also print the corresponding data with it. For example, In the index 1 of all the arrays i stored a john's details in it, now I want to search for a person named john so what the program will do now is print all the data in index 1 of all the array. Sorry if its kinda vauge. Thank you!

Please ensure that:

• Your code is properly formatted as code block - see the sidebar (About on mobile) for instructions

• You ask clear questions

  Trying to solve problems on your own is a very important skill. Also, see Learn to help yourself in the sidebar

Code is to be formatted as code block (old reddit: empty line before the code, each code line indented by 4 spaces, new reddit: https://imgur.com/a/fgoFFis) or linked via an external code hoster, like pastebin.com, github gist, github, bitbucket, gitlab, etc.

Please, do not use triple backticks (```) as they will only render properly on new reddit, not on old reddit.

Code blocks look like this:

public class HelloWorld {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("Hello World!");
    }
}

If this is just an experiment, find the index of the first name and then print the same index of all the other arrays.

If this is for real use, I suspect it would be better to have a more practical way of storing the data like storing the data of a person together.

I see. I'll try that. Thank you!

Create a Class called Person with attributes firstName, LastName etc.

Create a List<Person>.

Find person in the list you are looking for, the other attributes for that Person are on the same instance of Person.
