Hi,

I was wondering if anyone knows of a way to define multiple variables with the same value?

A shorthand version of this:

int di1 = 50;
int di2 = 50;
int di3 = 50;
int di4 = 50;
int di5 = 50;
int di6 = 50;
int di7 = 50;

Cheers,

Help is much appreciated  

Understood, but how do I do this with an array? I'm not sure I understand arrays fully.

Thanks for your response.

When you go shopping, you don't write each separate item you want to buy on a separate piece of paper. Instead, you make a list of things to buy on a single sheet of paper. This is how arrays work too. Instead of having a name for each variable you have, you just have a list of variables. For example, instead of saying:

String firstThingToBuy = "apples";
String secondThingToBuy = "milk";
String thirdThingToBuy = "bananas";

You can just do:

String [] thingsToBuy = { "apples", "milk", "bananas" };

And then read them later with:

println( thingsToBuy[1] ); // prints "milk"
