hi ,

First of all I am sorry for the harsh language that I used but I am really in urgent need of the problem given below and I thought may be by this way I can get responses sooner.
Thanks in advance.
===================================

how can i declare variables dynamically?
for example , in php i can do

$var_num = 1;
${'var'.$var_num} = 5;

so i get

$var1 = 5

how can i do that in java?
============================

 

 

This can't be done in Java but the functionality can be simulated. You can use the Map interface to acomplish the same thing:

import java.util.*; class DynamicVarTest {   public static void main(String args[]) {      Map<String, Integer> dynamicVariables = new HashMap<String, Integer>();      int var_num = 1;       dynamicVariables.put("var" + var_num, 5);       System.out.println("var1 = " + dynamicVariables.get("var1"));      // Output:      // var1 = 5   }}

 

 

You can't do that. PHP is a scripting language, meaning there's another program that reads each PHP statement and evaluates it whenever you ask for a PHP page. Java, on the other hand, compiles to something (almost like) assembly code, which consists of really simple instructions, and variables in Java are simply a way to refer to particular pieces of memory; the bytecode will basically refer directly to those address. The same thing applies in C++ and other programming languages.

However, there are alternatives for having similar to what you want. Here are some possibilities:
A) If you want a certain number of variables with the same name, use an array. You can make an array using SomeClass[] myArray = new SomeClass[numberOfElements]. Then, access the i'th element (where i is from 0 to myArray.length-1) using myArray.
B) If you really want to use arbitrary strings for your names, create a HashMap (similar to the associative arrays in PHP). Use HashMap hm = new HashMap(). Then add values using hm.put("yourName", yourValue). And get objects back out using SomeClass value = (SomeClass)(hm.get("yourName").

See the Java tutorials on arrays (http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/java/data/arrays.html) and Maps (http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/collections/interfaces/map.html).
