Hello,

I am looking for a method to automatically declare variables in C.
I'm not sure if there is a good way to do this,

There isn't - you can't define object names at runtime in C.

You could mallocate an array of objects however, and size it to
whatever size you needed. This is likely to be more useful anyway as
the chances are you will need to loop over the variables.
