Create a variable in swift with dynamic name

Question

In swift, in a loop managed by an index value that iterates, I want to create a variable which has the variable name that is a concatenation of \"person_\" and the current l

Answer 1

In Swift it is not possible to create dynamic variable names. What you are trying to achieve is the typical use case for an Array.

Create an Array and fill it with your person data. Later, you can access the persons via its index:

var persons: [String] = []

// fill the array
for i in 0..<10 {
    persons.append("Person \(i)")
}

// access person with index 3 (indexes start with 0 so this is the 4th person)
println(persons[3])  // prints "Person 3"
