hi Ei 123 , arr is a name of your Array , you can name it whatever you like 

String [] arrOne = new String [10]; // the name of your 1st array is arrOne with String type
arrOne.get(i); // to get element in position i from your 1st array named arrOne 
String [] arrTwo = new String [10]; // you can have another array but with different name arrTwo with same type
arrTwo.get(i); // to get access to the second array and get element at i Position
