value
so it shoujld look like this

Hello markos:

Sure, you can store anything you want in an array - including objects, which
might be the way to go here. Instead of creating a 2D array, why not create
objects that have two instance variables, a String and and int, and then
store the objects in a single array. That way you won't have to keep track
of all of those indices.

HTH,
