Hi,

I'm trying to dynamically create variables by adding a string and an integer to define it's name.
I want to do it with a "for" loop because I don't know how many variables I will need.

Let's say I need 100 variables of type "int", I don't want to manually write :
int Something1;
int Something2;
int Something3;
...
int Something100;

Here's my logic when using processing :
----------------
int quantity= 5;
for (int num = 0; num < quantity; num++) {
 int ["Something" + num];
}
----------------

Problem is, this doesn't work. I don't know how to make it as a variable by adding a dynamic number.

Anyone knows the solution? Ideas?

Thanks
Steven

hi steven,

I'm not sure, but I think this concept does not exist in Java.

A much cleaner and easier way would be to use an array. Instead of having
 int Something1;
 int Something2;
 int Something3;
 ...
 int Something100;
you would have something like this:
 int[] something = new int[100];
To access an int in this array, use this syntax:
something[theNumberYouWant] = 3;

Reading this will make it clear:
