java - Convert String to the name of a array in another class -

i'm amateur programmer , i'm wondering if it's possible solve problem in specific way.

public class stats {  public static int[] hero = {20, 20, 10, 10, 10}; public static int[] villain = {20, 20, 10, 10, 10};  public static void name(int[] name) {     //if insert array print values     system.out.println("health: " + name[1] + "/" + name[0]);     system.out.println("damage: " + name[2]);     system.out.println("defense: " + name[3]);     system.out.println("agility: " + name[4]);     return; } 

this want use , if call on using 'hero' or 'villain' works fine.

    public class userinterface extends jpanel implements mouselistener, mousemotionlistener {      //a lot of code in between not of notice right      @override         public void mouseclicked(mouseevent e) {             if (" ".equals(chess.board[e.gety() / squaresize][e.getx() / squaresize]) == false) {                 //checks if pressed on legit space on map                  string name = (chess.board[e.gety() / squaresize][e.getx() / squaresize]);                 //in scenario 'name' string called "hero"                  system.out.println("name: " + name);                 //will write out 'name: hero'                  stats.name(stats.hero);                 //works fine                  stats.name(stats.name);                 //does not work              }         } 

now want call on right array depending on clicked. moment have arrays called 'hero' , 'villain' in end there surly on 50+ arrays choose on map. writing stats.name(stats.name); not work cause name string , wants int[].

but there way to use string 'name' in such way can call on int[] array named same thing in different class?

i think you're trying object name. can't literally way have, it's common , don't have add code.

let's have rpg game , have team members, each little computer person identified name.

map<string,rpgperson> team = new hashmap<>(); 

here have way map string (the name) object want (the 1 stats). i'm using suggestion above make "person" object because better using array.

here's quick example:

public class rpgpersonexample {    public static void main( string[] args )    {       map<string, rpgperson> team = new hashmap<>();       team.put( "sgt. mayhem", new rpgperson( 100, 10, 0 ) );       team.put( "wizard", new rpgperson( 100, 1, 10 ) );       team.put( "dragon", new rpgperson( 1000, 100, 100 ) );        system.out.println( team.get( "dragon" ) );       system.out.println( team.get( "wizard" ) );    }  }  class rpgperson {     private int hits;    private int strength;    private int magic;     public rpgperson( int hits, int strength, int magic )    {       this.hits = hits;       this.strength = strength;       this.magic = magic;    }     @override    public string tostring()    {       return "rpgperson{" + "hits=" + hits + ", strength=" +               strength + ", magic=" + magic + '}';    }  }
