    <p>This is something I've just never been able to get my brain around...</p> <p>Let's say I am building a grid of 8 UIViews wide by 8 UIViews high. It could by any x, y set. It doesn't have to be 8 x 8. Let's just be arbitrary and stick to that for now. </p> <p>This init method (part of a subclass of UIView) generates a row 8 UIViews wide:</p> <pre><code> - (id)initWithFrame:(CGRect)frame { if ((self = [super initWithFrame:frame])) { int x = 1; int y = 1; //row 01 UIView* row01Square01 = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake((0*x), (0*y), x, y)]; [self addSubview:row01Square01]; UIView* row01Square02 = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake((1*x), (0*y), x, y)]; [self addSubview:row01Square02]; UIView* row01Square03 = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake((2*x), (0*y), x, y)]; [self addSubview:row01Square03]; UIView* row01Square04 = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake((3*x), (0*y), x, y)]; [self addSubview:row01Square04]; UIView* row01Square05 = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake((4*x), (0*y), x, y)]; [self addSubview:row01Square05]; UIView* row01Square06 = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake((5*x), (0*y), x, y)]; [self addSubview:row01Square06]; UIView* row01Square07 = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake((6*x), (0*y), x, y)]; [self addSubview:row01Square07]; UIView* row01Square08 = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake((7*x), (0*y), x, y)]; [self addSubview:row01Square08]; } return self; </code></pre> <p>}</p> <p>Is it possible to write a method that could use that code (with modifications of course) to generate the subsequent 7 rows of UIViews? Better yet, is it possible to use 1 line of to generate all 64 UI Views?</p> <p>I have experimented with using a for, while, do loop, but I admit I am completely lost when it comes to whether you or not you can pass a string as an argument to an init method.</p> <p>Thanks in advance for any insight into this.</p>
