Separate a big junk of text from main?

**DontworryIhavenoplan** · November 8th, 2022, 08:23 AM

Hello,
I try to explain it quick and dirty.
I have a programm where I need to put down a lot of text and save it. (fixed/static). <- it will never change.
I need like 12 components of text, each consisting of like 10 to 40 words.
I need to save them somewow as an array of string. (dont care what, whats best to save?)
And then I get from the main programm a few numbers. (doesnt matter how, it will just save some numbers, maybe I type them in).
Depending on the number it should print out the text on the index from that number.

Example:
main says numbers 1,2,3
it should put out Array[1] + Array[2] + Array[3]
when the numbers are 0,1
it should put out the text from Array[0] + Array[1]

How do I separate this and write it in a hidden separate file, which normaly only classes have?!

12x40 = 480 words. Since they've been declared as constant, just make them constants.

Constants.java

public class Constants {
 
  public static String[] MY_PHRASES = {
    "first phrase",
    "second set of words",
    "third set"
  };
 
} // Constants

Usage in main

public class Scratchpad {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
 
    System.out.println( Constants.MY_PHRASES[2] + " " + Constants.MY_PHRASES[0] );
 
  } // main
} // Scratchpad
