creating varible names from varibles

[bleak26]

Ok I would like to create some variable names from other variables, but I don’t seem to be able to get this to work, I have tried a couple of ideas. Is it possible to do this?

What I would like is that, I could increment the name of a variable so I can create variables with different names.

Please help.


1.

int increment = 0; 
SubClient clientobject+increment = new SubClient(firstname,lastname,tphone,address);

Error 1
reportprogram.java:245: ';' expected
SubClient variablename + increment = new SubClient(firstname,lastname,tphone,ad
ress);
                       ^
1 error

2.

int increment = 0; 
String newvariablename = "clientobject"+increment ;
SubClient newvariablename = new SubClient(firstname,lastname,tphone,address);

Error 2
reportprogram.java:245: variablename is already defined in methreadDataIntoDest
nation(java.lang.String)
SubClient variablename = new SubClient(firstname,lastname,tphone,address);

          ^

Hi,
Problem 1
To solve problem 1 you would have to use an array of objects.

Problem 2
In this you are trying to give two object variables the same identifier.
You have created a String object called new variable name, you then attempt to create an object reference of type SubClient with the same identifier.
You cannot have two variables, be they object identifiers or references to simple data types, of the same name.

PS
if you really do get stuck, e-mail me and I will try to sort it out
