Question

I have a number of variables such as

int foo1;
int foo2;
int foo3;
int foo4;

Now, I have a for loop, going from var x = 0 to 3 (for the 4 variables), and i would like to use x to call the variables like this:

for(int x = 0; x < 4; x++)
{
    foo+x = bar;
}

so that when x = 1, then my variable foo1 will be assigned the value bar (foo+x = bar == foo1 = bar when x = 1).

Is there any way of doing this in C# or should I take an alternative approach?

Could you do something like this:

var listVariables = new Dictionary<string, int>
                    {
                        { "foo1", 1 },
                        { "foo2", 2 },
                        { "foo3", 3 },
                        { "foo4", 4 },
                    };

for (int x = 1; x <= 4; x++)
{
   listVariables["foo" + x] = bar;
}
