I can't work out the syntax for creating symbols and assigning values to
the variables in a loop. Here's a simple example:
Starting with this basic idea:
julia> for n in 1:10
println("x_$(n)")
end
I'd like to do this:
julia> for n in 1:10
symbol("x_$(n)") = n
end
ERROR: syntax: "(string #<julia: "x_"> n)" is not a valid function
argument name
to create variables called x_1, x_2, and assign numeric values to them...
(Numbers in this example, but will be image data eventually.)
Also, for better formatting for variable names:
julia> "x_$(@sprintf "%03d" 2)"
"x_002"
but this gives a similar error when used with symbol():
julia> for n in 1:10
symbol("x_$(@sprintf "%03d" 2)") = n
end
ERROR: syntax: "(string #<julia: "x_"> (let (block (= #21#out (call (.

Perhaps `symbol` isn't what I want here?
