Re: object instance names generated on the fly?

But, I'm not sure I understand....

is this what you are talking about?

for(int i = 0; i < 0; ++i) {
MyType myVariable + i = whatever;
}

and then use it as
myVariable0
myVariable1
...

because if that is what you want you can just create an array and access
the elements as
myVariable[0]
myVariable[1]
...

Or am I way off the mark here?

John.

thanks for the reply.

because an array will behave in a very different way to my object. i
want to initiate this object many times, so i guess the precise
question is: is it possible to initiate an object with a name that's a
variable? rather than what seems to be the norm - with a name that
you've typed in the code.
