When you use the term "data structure", what are you referring to?

Array, vector, list, other "Collection"
or
Struct or Class or other Abstract Data Type?

I believe he means a Class. Read chapter 1 of any Java book or ask your teacher.

public class ClassName
{
//everything inside these curly brackets is the body of the class
//the body is where you create methods (functions) and define variables

//example of declaring a variable
dataType variablename;

String name;

}

Two dimensional array would do very well, if you are keeping data on a number of Customers - store all values as Strings

Your 2-D array will have the "row" array - in effect, the first column of the array, from 0 to however many customers you have; the second array will have six elements

Here is a suggestion about how to declare and prime the array, for 20 customers:

String [][] customers = new String[20][6];
customers[0] = {"First Name", "Last Name", "Order Number",
"Product Purchased", "Date", "Time"};
