Creating multiple objects with different names in a loop to store in an array list

Question

I am trying to create mutliple objects of a type of class I made  I then want to transfer these values into the array list  How can I create objects using a while loop that have different names  For example here is my code now  but it would only make an object of one name    Customer cust   new Customer  bob   20 0     and my constructor if you want to see   public Customer String customerName  double amount        String name customerName      double sale amount      StoreTest class  with main method    import java util ArrayList  import java util Scanner   public class StoreTest    ArrayList lt Customer gt  store   new ArrayList lt Customer gt      public static void main  String   args            double sale 1 0    so the loop goes the first time           switch to dowhile         Scanner input   new Scanner System in            System out println  If at anytime you wish to exit                       please press 0 when asked to give                      sale amount             while sale  0                        System out println  Please enter the                          customer s name                 String theirName   input nextLine                 System out println  Please enter the                          the amount of the sale                 double theirSale   input nextDouble                 store addSale theirName  theirSale                     store nameOfBestCustomer           Customer class   public class Customer    private String name  private double sale   public Customer         public Customer String customerName  double amount        name customerName      sale amount        Store class  has methods for messing with arraylist   import java util ArrayList    public class Store      creates Customer object and adds it to the array list public void addSale String customerName  double amount        this add new Customer customerName  amount         displays name of the customer with the highest sale public String nameOfBestCustomer         for int i 0  i lt this size    i

You can use this code     public class Main        public static void main String args              String   names     First    Second    Third     You Can Add More Names         double   amount    20 0  30 0  40 0    You Can Add More Amount         List lt Customer gt  customers   new ArrayList lt Customer gt             int i   0          while  i  lt  names length                customers add new Customer names i   amount i                 i

ArrayList lt Customer gt  custArr   new ArrayList lt Customer gt     while youWantToContinue          get a customerName       get an amount     custArr add new Customer customerName  amount       For this to work    you ll have to fix your constructor       Assuming your Customer class has variables called name and sale  your constructor should look like this   public Customer String customerName  double amount        name   customerName      sale   amount        Change your Store class to something more like this   public class Store        private ArrayList lt Customer gt  custArr       public new Store             custArr   new ArrayList lt Customer gt                public void addSale String customerName  double amount            custArr add new Customer customerName  amount               public Customer getSaleAtIndex int index            return custArr get index                or if you want the entire ArrayList      public ArrayList getCustArr             return custArr
