Message:

dynamic method name

Posted by PJS on October 12, 2000 at 11:41 AM

does anyone know how i can call a method whose name
is determined dynamically? for instance, if i have two
methods:

public void method0(){
}

public void method1(){
}

and i want to call the method based on the value
of x (without using an if statement), can i do
so? in other words, instead of calling method0()
or method1(), can i call, so to speak, methodx(),
which, if x is 0, will call method0() and, if x
is 1, will call method1()?

thanks,
pjs
