Create an unknown number of objects

I need to create a specific number instances of an object based on a variable. so the pseudo code looks kinda like this

for(int x; x < aInt; x++) {开发者_Python百科
    //create object and initialize it
}

how would I do that and create a different object each time with a different name and memory location?

Stick the reference in a NSMutableArray (or a NSArray, given that you appear to know the size in advance).

NSMutableArray *array = [[NSMutableArray alloc]init]

for(int x; x < aInt; x++) {
    //create object and initialize it
    YourObject *o = [[YourObject alloc]init];
    [array addObject:o];
    [o release];
}

// do whatever you need to do with the objects

A NSDictionary/NSMutableDictionary is certainly an option as well, depending on what your requirements are.

Just use a NSMutableArray:

NSMutableArray *objectsArray = [NSMutableArray arrayWithCapacity:(YourIntegerValue)];
for(int x; x < aInt; x++) {
    //create object and initialize it
    [objectsArray addObject:(YourObject)];
}

Don't forget to release the array after you're done working with it!
