Variable with random name

[colabi]

Hi

Is possible to create a variable with a random number in name?
Something like:

xxx = random(100, 999);
global_variable_xxx = value;

Thanks

Hi,

You can use function setValue to achieve this.
For example:

Code: Select all

setValue("global_variable_"+random(1, 100), value);

However I would recommend not to use this mechanism but insterad use a map to store random values:

Code: Select all

global_map_with_random_values = newMap();
addMapEntry(global_map_with_random_values, "key_"+random(1, 100), value);
value = getMapValue(global_map_with_random_values, "key_"+random(1, 100));

The advatage is that you only have one global variable that groups all your values.
