Is there a way to have various datatypes in one array? Checking online it says to initialise as an Object type but that doesn’t seem to work with processing. Can’t seem to find anything in the docu either The Goal: datatype[][] arrayA = {“hello”,1,2,3.5};

Being a strong typed language based on java processing doesnt allow multiple types in one array, there are alternatives though not as easily implemented as in a language such as javascript. https://www.techiedelight.com/return-multiple-values-method-java/
