Question by schwertfisch · Jan 02, 2012 at 06:18 PM · functioncall

Variable inside a function's NAME - does it work?

I have 10 functions:

function MyFunction1(){ }

function MyFunction2(){ }

function MyFunction3(){ }

...etc

Is there a way to call a specific function depending on the value of an integer i that takes values from 1 to 10?

Calling MyFunction(i)() after having set a value for i doesn't work.

You can create an array of function pointers or delegates and then index into the array when calling the function.

Example in C#:

 delegate void Delegate();
 Delegate[] MyFunctions = new Delegate[3];
 
 void Init()
 {
     MyFunction[0] = MyFunction1;
     MyFunction[1] = MyFunction2;
     MyFunction[2] = MyFunction3;
 }
 
 void DoWork(int i)
 {
     MyFunctions[i]();
 }

Hope that helps.

I guess this works in JS too since it's a built-in array. Thanks, I'll try it out.

You could also use SendMessage, but delegates are faster.

 SendMessage("MyFunction" + i);
