Question

I was wondering if in Java there was any way to give a new variable a name which is the value of another variable. The below code is an non working example of what I’m trying to do.

int a = 0;
while(true){
    String (a) = "newValue";
    a = a + 1;
}

or

String b = "newVariableName";
int (b) = 1;

Thank for any help given.

You cannot create dynamic variable names in Java. I would recommend placing these variables in a Map with a string as a key. The key can be whatever String you would like.
