using arrays in this sectionwe explore few applications of arrayswhich were introduced in section storing game entries in an array the first application we study is for storing entries in an array--in particularhigh score entries for video game storing entries in arrays is common use for arraysand we could just as easily have chosen to store records for patients in hospital or the names of students in data structures class but insteadwe have decided to store high score entrieswhich is simple application that presents some important data structuring concepts that we will use for other implementations in this book we should begin by asking ourselves what we want to include in high score entry obviouslyone component we should include is an integer representing the score itselfwhich we will call score another nice feature would be to include the name of the person earning this scorewhich we will simply call name we could go on from here adding fields representing the date the score was earned or game statistics that led to that score let us keep our example simplehoweverand just have two fieldsscore and name we show java classgameentryrepresenting game entry in code fragment code fragment java code for simple gameentry class note that we include methods for returning the name and score for game entry objectas well as method for return string representation of this entry
