Before you minus-vote this, I can't even wrap my mind around how to do this.
How would you make a .java or class that you could add text from a different class into it to store information MID-EXECUTION?
Technically, what I'm trying to accomplish is an inventory system for a text-based RPG, where it could say, "hey, you got a sword!" and "sword" appears in the inventory. and you can type in "INVENTORY" and see "You have 1X Sword". It can't be a println because I need the player to be able to access it anytime.
I have searched it on the web, and nothing came up. How can I proceed further?
The code below will display my current inventory system, and why it needs to be fixed:
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Class
{
public static void main(String[] args)

String choice;
Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);

Note the "Inventory1" and "Inventory3."
Once the player catches on to my method, they could be able to skip right through the game with the best weapons and armor, if they knew the inventory number.
Thank you for helping. I appreciate it.
