Java Arraylist to store user input

Question

Hi I am new to arraylists and java and I was wondering if someone could help me or give me pointers on how to create a program that allows the user to repeatedly enter directory entries from the keyboard and store them in an arraylist.

enter name:
enter telephone number:

and then ask if the user wants to enter another one

enter another:  Y/N

thanks

You can still use two ArrayLists, or make a class with name and phone attributes and then make one ArrayList of objects of that class.

First approach shown here.

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Scanner;

public class AAA {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        ArrayList<String> name = new ArrayList<String>();
        ArrayList<Integer> phone = new ArrayList<Integer>();
        Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
        while (true) {
            System.out.println("Please enter your name: ");
            name.add(sc.next());
            System.out.println("Please enter your number: ");
            phone.add(sc.nextInt());
        }
    }
}
