how can I print to text the number of an int as well as the name of the int.

I am using a point system that has categories of points. I am looking for a way to access both the value of an int and the name of the int to be printed on what will ultimately be a “high score” page. Not sure if I am approaching with the right angle on this problem.

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UI;

public class Int_SortScript : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Text Project;

    public int junk;
    public int trash;
    public int waste;
    public int prize;
    

    public int PrintMax;

    public List<int> PointList = new List<int>();
    
    int GetMax()
    {
        PointList.Sort();
        int max = PointList[PointList.Count - 1];
        return max;
    }
    
    void Start()
    {
        PointList.Add(junk);
        PointList.Add(trash);
        PointList.Add(waste);
        PointList.Add(prize);
    }

    
    void Update()
    {
        PrintMax = GetMax();
        Project.text = PrintMax.ToString();
    }
}

Once you put the integers in the array/list, you can’t retrieve its name anymore.

Try the following codes:

public class Int_SortScript : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Text Project;
    public int junk;
    public int trash;
    public int waste;
    public int prize;
    
    private string GetMax()
    {
        if( junk == Mathf.Max( junk, trash, waste, prize ) ) return junk + " " + nameof( junk ) ; 
        if( trash == Mathf.Max( junk, trash, waste, prize ) ) return trash + " " + nameof( trash ) ; 
        if( waste == Mathf.Max( junk, trash, waste, prize ) ) return waste + " " + nameof( waste ) ; 
        if( prize == Mathf.Max( junk, trash, waste, prize ) ) return prize + " " + nameof( prize ) ;
    }
    
    void Update()
    {
        Project.text = GetMax();
    }
}

public class Int_SortScript : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Text Project;
    public int junk;
    public int trash;
    public int waste;
    public int prize;
    
    private static Dictionary<string, int> values = new Dictionary<string, int>();

    private string GetMax()
    {
        values.Clear();
        
        values.Add( nameof( junk ), junk ) ;
        values.Add( nameof( trash ), trash ) ;
        values.Add( nameof( waste ), waste ) ;
        values.Add( nameof( prize ), prize ) ;
        
        int max = -1;
        string maxName = null ;
        foreach( KeyValuePair<string, int> v in values )
        {
            if( v.Value > max )
            {
                max = v.Value;
                maxName = v.Key;
            }
        }
        
        return max + " " + maxName ;
    }
    
    void Update()
    {
        Project.text = GetMax();
    }
}
