I'm just starting with C, and I'm wondering if C has a feature I love to use in PHP. In PHP, you can use what they call variable variables where you can dynamically use variables, like in this loop:

for($i; $i<$some_number; $i++)
{
$var{$i}='some string here';
}

So does C have something like this? Thanks in advance.

hello, actually c or c++ dont have the variable variable names feature...

you always have to create a variable name when you are coding, the program dont create it at runtime like that feature...

i was looking if that was possible too in a previous post but that feature isnt implemented...

but if you want that for something like in the example you show you can use an array and call it almost the same:


hope this helps...

No that's not quite the meaning in PHP. The curly brackets around the $i mean the value of $i is appended to the name $var. So it cycles over $var0, $var1, etc...

I know of no way of doing this in C++. It's a syntactic sugar of PHP.

yeah i know... but looking at the sample code he added i told him that if he wanna made something like that (having variables with names var0, var1, var2, and so on) the most closer approach would be using an array with identifier var, so he would be using var[0], var[1], var[2] and so on...

but that only if he wanna make something like his sample code... because other useful implementations of variable variable names arent possible since c or c++ dont support them...
