I do not need length or any attribute of array it implicit in my code, but i do need objects or multidimensional arrays that can store strings, ***at negative indexes.*** 

I showed you that the array will store values at negative indexes.
So my question remains can i set also objects not only values at the negative indexes of an array.

And how do i achieve that.
