public class ParallelArray {
 
   public static void main(String[] args) {
 
      int[] id = {1002, 423, 786};
      String[] name = {"John Doe", "Mary Jane", "Peter Pan"};
      String[] dept = {"Deli", "Pharmacy", "Produce"};

         Print the information in the parallel arrays
         ---------------------------------------------- */
      System.out.println("ID    Name        Department  Pay");
      System.out.println("----  ----------  ----------  -----");
      for ( int i = 0; i < id.length; i++ ) {
         System.out.printf( "%04d  ", id[i] );       
         System.out.printf( "%-10s  ", name[i] );  
         System.out.printf( "%-10s  ", dept[i] );
