Question

So I have this code, where en1 is an instance of a object.

for (int i = 0; i < 20; i++) {
    System.out.println("Introduce el nombre de una empresa");
    Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
    en1.setName(scanner.next());
}

I would like to change the 1 on en1 to the loop counter. Is this possible?

Your best bet is to use an Array and have each element correspond to the iteration of the loop.

//Instantiation 
Enterprise[] en = new Enterprise[20];//the number of iterations you need

//You do not have a default constructor, so I would use this to add the "int index"
en[i] = new Enterprise(X); //For each enterprise where "X" is a number for the "int index"


//in the loop
en[i].setName(scanner.next());

The array in my example will have 20 elements (0 through 19). Each one can correspond to a single iteration. There is no way to change the name of a variable based on other variables.
