Basically I have x amount of matrices I need to establish of y by y size. I was hoping to name the matrices: matrixnumber1 matrixnumber2..matrixnumbern I cannot use an array as its matrices I have to form. Is it possible to use a string to name a string (or a matrix in this case)? Thank you in advance for any help on this! for (int i = 1; i <= numberofmatricesrequired; i++) { string number = Convert.ToString(i); Matrix (matrixnumber+number) = new Matrix(matrixsize, matrixsize); }
