I am trying to figure out how do I create an identifier for an array of Strings which doesn't have a predefined set number of Strings in it?

I couldn't find a solution for this specific problem when searching on the internet thats why I'm asking here.

    What? Please show an example of what you are trying to accomplish. You want an ArrayList? – OldProgrammer May 18 '23 at 14:09
  • The identifier is the same as identifiers for arrays which *do* have a known size. I certainly hope you are not naming fields `arrayOfTenStrings`. – VGR May 18 '23 at 17:09

You could create one "ArrayList" collection and store any number of "String" objects in it. And finally you could convert the "ArrayList" to "String[]".

List<String> list = new ArrayList<>();
list.add("String1");
...
String[] array = list.toArray(new String[0]);
