create multiple variables based on an int count
Objective C Equivalent of PHP's “Variable Variables”
How would I create and reference an object using a variable as it\'s name?
Example -
for (int i=1; i<7; i++) {
CGRect (\"myRectNum & i\") = myImageView.bounds;
}
(\"myRectNum & 5\").height etc ..
There isn\'t anything like this in the Objective-C language, and in general it\'s not going to be a very practical way of referring to data (what if you typo a string? the compiler won\'t be able to catch it). I won\'t get into second-guessing what you actually want to do (that would depend on the goal of this part of your application), but you can use an NSMutableDictionary
to get a similar effect:
NSMutableDictionary *dict = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];
for (int i = 0; i < 7; i++)
{
NSString *key = [NSString stringWithFormat:@\"myRectNum & %d\", i];
NSValue *value = [NSValue valueWithCGRect:myImageView.bounds];
[dict setObject:value forKey:key];
}
Then to fetch the values back out again:
NSValue *value = [dict objectForKey:@\"myRectNum & 5\"];
CGRect bounds = [value CGRectValue];
NSLog(@\"height = %f\", bounds.size.height);
