Dynamic Create Object based on user's input?

[diskhub]

If the following line is for me to create a Car object,

Car car1 = new Car();

How can I create a dynamic list of car based on the user's input?
For example, if user enters 5,
I wish to do the following:

Car car1 = new Car();
Car car2 = new Car();
Car car3 = new Car();
Car car4 = new Car();
Car car5 = new Car();

I wish to be able to randomly assign color to the cars like this:

for(int i=1; i<6; i++){
... //not sure how can I concatenate 'car' with the number...
}


How can I do so?

Should I create an array of Car with the size inputted by the user?

Yes.
You are creating an array of cars of whatever size the user has enetered.
Or a List<Car> if you don't know how many the user is going to create (and you've covered Collections and generics).

to chooser random colors you can also create an array to hold the colors and randomly index into the array to get the colors to set the car's color variable

Color[] colors = { Color.black, Color.red, Color.green };
Random rand = new Random();
combine colors and random in the car constructor.
