java - How do I call from a list of names? -

i've been learning java few weeks i'm still noob. want next line print "mr/miss." + firstname + lastname; however, don't want type gender of person in. want there list of male names (long list on 1000 names) , programme observe if firstname input 1 of male names. programme can assign right title (mr/ms.)

how do without making normal arraylist , typing out each name individually (which'll take agessss).

thanks in advance!

public static void main (string [] args){ scanner scanner = new scanner(system.in); system.out.println("hello, checking out today? (y/n)"); string checkoutyesorno = scanner.nextline(); if (checkoutyesorno.equalsignorecase("y")) { x();} else if (checkoutyesorno.equalsignorecase("n")) {system.out.println("okay then. enjoy rest of remain @ rizty hotel!");} } public static void x(){ system.out.println("sure, mind telling me lastly name?"); scanner scanner = new scanner(system.in); //how can avoid making new scanner? string lastname = scanner.nextline(); system.out.println("and first name?"); string firstname= scanner.nextline(); } }

sounds typical mapping. read names map key name , gender value. resolve gender gendermap.get(name).

java methods arraylist
