naming variables in code

[helena]

can i call variables from code interactivly...for examle:
i have variables variable1,variable2,variable3,variable4.can i call them
from a loop : for(i=1;i<5;i++){variablei}

an array is not a solution because i need more complex sufixes like
04101, where very nomber means something.

thank you fror youre answer,helena

use Hashtable with suffixe as key

why not use a map collection (java.util.map), where your key is the
number/string that id's the variable, and the vallue is an object type
from an interface that has some common methods that u can use to
extract the information.

use Hashtable with suffixe as key

How can you call a variable at all? Consider:

int i = 5;
call(i); // nonsense

if you would read what I wrote you could see that I answered "no".

What you can is - put some Object into Hashtable using some key and retrieve
it:
Instead of
int a04101 = 100;

you write:
Hashatble ht = new Hashtable();
String s = "a04101";
Integer value = new Integer(100);
ht.put(key, value);

Sorry, I was referring to the OP; I should have been more clear.
Still, how do you CALL a variable?

The meaning of his question was clearly obvious. Must you stretch to
find trivial things to complain about whenever possible?

As to the OP's question, yes a HashMap or something similar would fit
your need as Andrey pointed out.
