i need to create two arrays, one should take names and the other one scores. When i create a loop, how to make the loop read only names not the numbers.
Thanks a lot.

Typically, you wouldn't make a loop to read only names and not numbers. You would make one loop that read both names and numbers and stored them in their respective arrays.

read 1st Name and store this name
read 1st number and do nothing
read 2nd Name and ... etc.
