Question

So I am looking for a way to temporarily store values so they can be deleted if necessary (I may be going about this the completely wrong way so correct me if I am wrong!)

I created 18 strings: info1, info2, info3, etc…

I want to set each one to a certain value dependent upon the hole the user is at, this is how I pictured it.

hole = 1;
info + hole = current; <--- current is a string with a value already.
hole++;

(so info1 = current value 1)

info + hole = current; <--- current is a new string with a new value similar to the first.
hole++;

(so info2 = current value 2)

If you need more code please let me know. I decided I would skip it and not bother the community with the question so I deleted the code, and then decided no I really want this feature. I will rewrite it real quick if its needed.

Answer 1

This is a wrong approach

info + 1 = 2;

is not same as

info1 = 2;

You need to put things in an array and manipulate then

So for your 18 strings define an array as

String[] info = new String[18];

and then later do

info[hole-1] = current;
