Using a character string as a variable name?

[madhavan]

Hello, I have a string-related question. If I have a character string, is it possible to define a double-type variable and name it after that character string? I'm asking because I'm using a loop to create several hundred character strings, and I would like to use each string to create a corresponding double variable with the same name. Thanks.

You may find a map container useful.

You cannot create variable or symbol names dynamically at run time, they have to be hard coded in the source file.

Grey Wolf's idea of a std::map is a good idea as another way of approaching the problem. It will allow you to give each string a key, or unique identifier that you can search against.
