Question

My code-

For i= 1 to 10
str & i = InputBox("Enter a number")
Next i

The problem is that it does not create the variable and highlights the “&” sign. Please help.
P.S. I dont want to use an array.

Edit (Updated requirement from one of the comments):

I can’t use an array because its for a school project and i’m not allowed, and the user can enter as many numbers as he wants to, so..?

Answer 1

As Marco says, you can’t have variable variables.

Sounds like you need an array instead:

dim inputs(1 To 10) as Integer
For i= 1 to 10
    inputs(i) = InputBox("Enter a number")
Next i

UPDATE: Answering requirements of unknown number of inputs, and absence of arrays:

You can possibly use a collection, as this will take new inputs as you require:

'Create a collection and a temp variable
Dim strs As New Collection
Dim str As String

'Loop until the input is empty
Do
    str = InputBox("Enter a number")
    If str <> "" Then strs.Add (str)
Loop Until str = ""


'Then later you can do
Dim val As String
For Each val In strs
    'Do something with val
Next
