how do you output a string and change that string

Question

hello i am trying to create a specified amount of players in a game. I have looped the creation of players but everytime it loops it should go from making player1 to making player2 how do i construct a class which i defined in a separate file with that specific string ?

System.out.println("input starting monies in millions of dollaz");
double starterplayermoney = Double.valueOf(keyboard.nextLine());
System.out.println("input total players");
double doubletotalplayers = Double.valueOf(keyboard.nextLine()); 
int i = 1 ;
while(i<=doubletotalplayers){
    String playerstring = "player"+Integer.toString(i);
    player playerstring = new player();
    i++;    
}

Answer 1

You should use either an array or some collection of players. The thing is you are overwriting the reference to the player object in the next iteration here.

player playerString = new player();

Use an array like this:

Player [] playerString = new Player [2];
while( i <= doubletotalplayers){
playerString[i] = new Player();

}

Also, I am not sure why would you need a double value for number of players. Try using int.
