Thread: giving arraylist name

Is there a way to give the name of the arraylist depending upon the input ?


for example

ArrayList arrname=new Arraylist();

The above is the default one .


instead of 'arrname' , can i give the name during execution of the program

for example

String name;
Scanner s=new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Enter the arraylist name");
name=s.next();
ArrayList ______ =new Arraylist();


what should be filled in so that i can get arrayname of my choice ??

can a arraylist name be assigned like this ??

this is my assignment

i tried searching but cant find any solution .

please help

thanks

The names of variables are set when you type in the code.
If you want to associate String values("names") with data use a Map where the key is the "name" and the value is the data associated with that name.
