Java; Generating many indexed object names in loops

[Carlis]

Hi

I need a loop that creates objects of my class which is called "particle"
I want the object to be called "p" + "an index". In addition, I want an another loop to carry out a method that the particle class has on each specific object. What to do?

If you will always be accessing the particles in the same order, just use an ArrayList.

Will give you an overview of what you can do with the ArrayList.

you could also just use a standard array. That is, instead of naming your variables p1, p2, p3... just make an array called p where index i is pi.

Yes, the standard array worked fine. Thanks!
