I am attempting to run a method that takes in an string and creates the object using the string as the object's variable:
public void createObj(String objName){
Obj objName = new Obj();
}
Is this even possible? If so, how may I accomplish it?
You cannot use an expression to name a variable in Java. The closest you can get, I think, is to populate a Map<String, Obj> that can be used to look up Obj instances by name.
public void createObj(String objName, Map<String, Obj> symbolTable){
symbolTable.put(objName, new Obj());
}
In a nutshell, no, this cannot be done. You can't create a named local variable at runtime.
If you want to associate names with objects, you could use a Map<String,Object>.
No you can't do it for a simple reason. You cannot have 2 local variables with a same name because the compiler cannot differentiate.
No its not possible. Declare all the local variable with different name.
A class and its members are defined and then compiled to byte code, so thse cannot be modified at dynamic at run-time.
public void createObj(String objName){
Obj objectName = new Obj();
}
