Arrays don't contain variables, they contain values and every value in an array can be modified. Please explain what you really want. An example would be fine.

kind regards,

I have being asked to create a simple array which contains two different variables that are able to be modified,

Maybe it's me, but this statement doesn't make much sense. Care to clarify this?

[i8java]

if for example a person is asked to enter their name and town, after this information has being entered i have to be able to modify either one of these. If for example they move town.

Sorry about the clarity but i am lost and have being hitting walls constantly he last few days.

So you will likely need a class to hold your name and town String, and then have your array be an array of this type of class, correct?

I'm still not sure of what you're needing though. Do you need to post the assignment itself?
