Question

Just imagine this simple situation:

int temperature = 20;

is there any possibility to give a dynamic parameter name?? Like for example (I know that doesn’t work, just to get the idea) :

int Array[1].ToString() = 20;

Thank you!
Cheers Chris

No. Not in C#. The closest you could get would be to use a Dictionary<string, object>:

var variables = new Dictionary<string, object>();

variables.Add(Array[1].ToString(), 20);

But not only does that involve casting each time you need to retrieve the value, but it will also cause boxing/unboxing.

All told, I certainly wouldn’t recommend it.
