    How can I create multiple variables in C?

    Currently I have the following, (except many more than just 5 windows).

    WINDOW *vwin1, *vwin2, *vwin3, *vwin4, *vwin5;
    vwin1=newwin(0,0,3,0);
    vwin2=newwin(0,0,3,0);
    vwin3=newwin(0,0,3,0);
    vwin4=newwin(0,0,3,0);
    vwin5=newwin(0,0,3,0);


    Is it possible to create the above in a for loop? The below doesn't work. I don't know what to use, obviously [i] isn't it. In bash, a simple $i would work.

    Code:
    int i;
    for ( i = 1; i < 6; i++ )
    {
         WINDOW *vwin[i];
         vwin[i]=newwin(0,0,3,0);
    }

    Put this outside the loop.
    WINDOW *vwin[6];

    Oh, and arrays start at subscript 0, not 1.
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
