Dynamic variable names in Swift

Question

I would like to refer to a variable in swift using a combination of a string and another variable. In php, I often did the following:

$i = 1
${'variable' . $i} = 'test'

Same as

$variable1 = 'test'

How is this done in Swift?

Answer 1

You can not. Unlike PHP, Swift is not an interpreted language. Starting with version 1.1, it does not support almost any dynamism (which is the price for safety and efficiency).
