Is it possible to do getMethodX with a for? [duplicate]

Answer 1

There is a number of ways to do this but in general it suggests you haven't structured you program correctly. You can do this.

for (int i = 1; i <= n; i++)
    getClass().getMethod("method" + i).invoke();

Or you could just have a long method which combines all the functionality you need.

An alternative in Java 8 is to do this

Runnable[] runs = {
  this::methodOne,
  this::methodTwo,
  this::methodThree,
  this::methodFour,
  this::methodFive,
  this::methodSix };

for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
    runs[i].run();
