Help with Objects!

[Shorinhio]

I need to make a Data object for each team in a league. I started by making an array of the objects, but then I could only access the objects by the array index which caused me all kinds of inheritance problems.

My question is, is there a way of creating objects with the team names?

For example, say I have an array of strings teamNames[20] containing all the teams in the Premiership, can I create objects named with these team names without doing it manually?

So, if goalsScored is an attribute of the Data object, and getGoalsScored() is a method, I want to be able to get the number of goals scored with Liverpool.getGoalsScored();

And then, ideally: (teamString).getGoalsScored();

Is this possible?

Any suggestions welcome. Thanks!

Why don't you create a Team class like this:

Code:

class Team {

   String name;

   public void String getName();
}

Create your teams array like this:

Code:

Team[20] teams;

and then search for the team by checking names of them in a for loop.

That is the logical method of doing this. Why do you need your implementation?
