“Attach” an integer to a string array, Java

Question

I'm trying to have a hidden integer value attached to each string in this array.

String[] playerArray = {"Player1"};

For example, I want to be able to input "Player1, 44 28 63", and have those integers hidden, but able to act on it's own.

I think what you want to do is create a Player object and have an array of those:

class Player {
   private String name; //?
   private int int1; //?

   public Player(String name, int int1) {
       this.name = name;
       this.in1 = int1;
   }
}

Player[] players = new Player[] {new Player("My String", 42);}

The good thing about this class is, that you can place code, methods, who acts on this data inside the class and so it helps your organize your code.
