This question comes up quite regularly, and the answer is usually “you shouldn’t”, see eg here [Creating multiple variables with consecutive names using a for loop](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/creating-multiple-variables-with-consecutive-names-using-a-for-loop/34177)

If you give me background as to what you avidly want to achieve people can probably suggest a different approach.
