How to store those informations in Java?

Question

I need to store those variables for each bot my radar detects [from robocode]:

double bearing = e.getBearing();

double energy = e.getEnergy();

double heading = e.getHeading();

double velocity = e.getVelocity();

double distance = e.getDistance();

double lastUpdated = getTime();

String name = e.getName();

The radar get all those informations and I need a way to store then temporaly. I was thinking about using arrays but I just don't know how to apply they correctly on this situation. The information must be like that:

name, lastUpdated, distance, bearing, velocity, heading, energy

I will need retrieve those informations from all or a specific robot [defined by his own name] later, if I use arrays, how could I do that?

Answer 1

1. Create a Radar class that stores all information.

2. Then you can have Radar[] arrayRadar = new Radar[10];

    Or, instead of array, you can use HashMap for easy retrieval.

If you use array, then to retrieve a specific radar you need for-loop to check each of them by name.

If you use HashMap, you can use name as the key and the class as the value.
