noob Java question - help appreciated :)

[SqualidChimp]

Hi there,

I am trying to learn Java from scratch as part of a course and am going though some assignments.

My current problem is:

I want to use a variable for assigning names to other variables. Is it possible to use a variable for assigning other variables? I don't think we come onto arrays etc until later in the course so I'm thinking they are looking for a simple way to do this.

Never used Java before so its all new to me

Thanks in advance for any help you can give.
