Dynamic naming of class instances

[Moezzie]

How would i go about to have class instances named after the content of a sertain variable?
Ive posted the same question a couple of weeks back regarding Python. This time i want to do it in C++ thought.

I tried to translate the python aproach into c++ but i dont really know how make a dictionary in, or if its even possible in c++.

And another question, how can i then call the class instance from the contents of another variable?

Thanks in advance

You can not dynamically name variables in C++ (or C for that matter). When you dynamically create an instance of a class it is your responsibility to maintain somewhere a pointer to the memory allocated for the instance.

There are many ways to do this , however you seem to want to refer to the instance using either a number or a name as a reference.

If the numbers are going to be contiguous, starting at 0 then I suggest you use a vector otherwise you may wish to look at using a map
