hi, is there a possibility to make this possible? what i mean: for example i got a loop: for(int i=0;i<50;i++) { int abc; } so, and i want that the name of the variable isn''t abc, it shall be abc1,abc2 etc. is this possible and when yes how?

I would suggest using an array instead. Then it would be abc[1], abc[2], abc[3] etc.

ok, you're right.

and i gotta say something (i forgot)...

i need the numbers for a struct with an array:

for(int x=0; x < Fieldsize; x++)
{
for(int y=0; y < Fieldsize; y++)
{
Field NewField[x][y];
}
}

doesn't work, cause i gotta use constant values

Get memory from the heap.

Look up the "new" and "delete" operators for variable size arrays.

quote: Original post by Metalchild

for(int x=0; x < Fieldsize; x++){   for(int y=0; y < Fieldsize; y++)   {      Field NewField[x][y];   } } 

Remember that if you''re declaring a variable inside a loop you''ll not
have access to that data when you get out of that loop or your data may be
corrupted.

have a look at this:

int ArraySize = 10;int *Array = new int[ArraySize];if( !Array )   ... // Out of memoryelse{   ... // Do whatever you want to do with the array   delete[] Array;   Array = NULL; // This is optional, but you should set it to null so later you can check if the array is created to avoid memory leaks.} 

Hope that helps

Kamikaze15, the standard default failure routine for the new operator is not to return NULL (0, whatever you want to call it ), it is to throw a std::bad_alloc exception.

This behaviour can be changed like this:

#include <new>// ...// Return NULL (0) on failurenew(std::nothrow) type [count];

Yes, you should be using arrays and dynamic memory. But as an FYI (in msvc land) you can use the __COUNTER__ macro to accomplish tacking numbers onto the end of a variable name (along with the ## operator).
