Let's say I needed to make a series of String[] objects.

I know that if i wanted to make a string array called "test" to hold 3 Strings I could do

String[] test = new String[3];

But let's say I needed to make a series of these arrays and I wanted them to be named, 1,2, 3, 4, 5... etc. For however many I needed and I didn't know how many I'd need.

How do I achieve a similar effect to this:

for (int k=0; k=5; k++){ 
String[] k = new String[3];
}

Which would created 5 string arrays named 1 through 5. Basically I want to be able to create array objects with a name detemined by some other function. Why can't I seem to do this? Am I just being stupid?
