use variable in variable name

Apoapsis (15)
Is it possible to have a variable n, and spawn a new object as onbjectn? For example:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13
14
 
struct block {
int x, y, z, size, rotation, velocity;
};
int nofblocks = 0;
//...
//...
int main () {
new block namegoeshere;
nofblocks = nofblocks++;
new block othernamehere;
nofblocks = nofblocks++;
//...
//...
return 0;}


Of course, namegoeshere and othernamehere would be replaced with the required syntax. It would create objects block0 and block1, theoretically repeatable infintely (block2, 3, etc.). Is it possible?

Thanks!

What you're looking for are arrays/vectors.

#include <vector>
[...]
vector<block> blocks;
blocks.push_back(block(...));
blocks.push_back(block(...));

blocks[0]; //first block
blocks[1]; //second block
blocks.size(); //current number of blocks (2)
