I want to do something like this:

String[] name=new String[5];
String[] type=new String[5];
name[0]="variable";
type[0]="int";
name[0]=(type[0])(<any value to be assigned>);

The main issue I'm facing is typecasting like this.It says ';' expected after type[0].

you cannot convert any value to Integer like this and moreover, you are trying to store the Integer value in a string array – Shashank Gupta Jun 15 '19 at 08:36
@ShashankGupta please do no focus on the value part ,main part is to typecast when the datatype is stored in a variable – Tarishi Jain Jun 15 '19 at 08:42
