store and recall string and integer data when a boolean is set to true

[lukeirves]

i am trying to figure out how to program In java an arraylist of sorts that stores and recall data I command.

I have 3 data sources
1 is a string
1 is a number anywhere from 0 - 30000
and the last is a boolean

when the Boolean is "true" I need the array to store the data from the string and the number.
when the Boolean is false the array looks at the string input and if it matches any of the strings in the array then it outputs the corresponding number that was stored.

the array needs to be able to store and recall about 50 strings and numbers in total.

also if the same string is encountered on a Boolean true the number value should be replaced with the new number received.

does anyone have any bright ideas?

it's for a quartz composer plugin.

thanks

I'd use a Map<String, Integer> and do as you described given a value for a triple b, s, n.
