Add integer to end of variable name Objective C

Question

I am new to Objective-C but at a decent level with java, let's say for example I have a loop.

for (int i=0; i<3; i++){
  NSString *(newstring+'i');
}

I want to end up with newstring0, newstring1, newstring2 for example.

How is this possible in Objective c?

Thanks, Oli

Use the method of NSString named [stringWithFormat:@"newstring%d",i], %d stands for integer. — Meera

   for (int i=0; i<3; i++){
        NSString *newString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"newString%d",i];
        NSLog(@"my string :: %@", newString);
    }

Thanks for the answer but I dont think I clearly stated what I meant. I mean I want the name of the string variable to contain the integer. For example if I made a new nsobject I would want to call it object1, object 2 etc, not what is contained in the variable.

hi, if you want to differentiate an object from other example :objectN, then you can use tag, so you can use objectN.tag = 1, so when you want to call that object you use tag again
