Question

Is it possible to create n variables within a loop. Something like

for(int x = 0; int x <  noOfThreads){
        //create new threads here
    }

I need to create the number of threads specified as an runtime argument. Not too sure how to go about this.

Thanks

You can just create and start the threads in the loop.

If you need to keep references to the Thread objects, then put them in a collection such as ArrayList:

List<Thread> threads = new ArrayList<Thread>();
for(int x = 0; x <  noOfThreads; x++){
    Thread t = new Thread(/* ... */);
    threads.add(t);
    // do something with t
}
