Increment variable names? [duplicate]

Answer 1

You can't do this in Java and more importantly, you don't want to do this as this isn't how Java works. In fact variable names aren't nearly as important as you think and hardly even exist in compiled code. What is much more important is that you are able to get a reference to your objects in as easy and reliable a way as possible. This can involve an array, an ArrayList (likely what you want here), a LinkedList, a Map such as a HashMap, a Set, and other types of collections.

For example:

List<Taco> tacoList = new ArrayList<Taco>();
for (int i = 0; i < MAX_TACOS; i++) {
   tacoList.add(new Taco(i));
}

Answer 2

use array of int. say int taco[50]; and you can reference each location as taco[0],taco[1] etc

Answer 3

Indeed it is impossible to generate identifier names based on a variable. Perhaps what you want is an array:

int[] Taco = new int[ 15 /*some appropiate upper limit*/ ];

Taco[X] = bla bla bla;

Search the web for basic information on what arrays are and how they work.

Answer 4

Use an int[] or a List<Integer>:

int[] tacos = new int[numberOfTacos];
// in some loop or whatever
tacos[x] = someValue;

Answer 5

I TacoX is going to be an integer, I would create an array of X ints. If the max number is 10, we have:

int[] taco = new int[10];

Then to modify/read tacoX, you just look at taco[X]
