Hashtable or what ?
I need to store several key values with 3 values each. Whay kind of data structure can i use in java ?
Since I'll add, change, search in values with keys i need a flexible structure.
i.e.
[ "John", 1.45, 90
"Mark", 2.65, 89
"Mary", 1.10, 50
....
]
thanks,
Yigit

three values that are related? looks like a name, height and weight in metric units.since java is an object-oriented language, I'd recommend that you combine these related things into a sensible object.you know that Map is <key, value> - that's it.%

Yeah, classes are lame - I'd use an array:Object[] stuff = new Object[] {"Jim",138,68,"Billy",172,45};

Myself included. :o)
Those types of restrictions just don't come into play in my arena. But I hear you; I can think of a situation or two where it could be a consideration, but not one that would be discussed in the "New To Java" section... :o)
