Solution 1

That makes no sense, the expression name(i) is a function call in Python. You cannot create, or refer to, variables in that way.

Solution 2

You cannot do (at least in a straightforward way) exactly what you are asking. However, a similar (very useful approach) is the one using lists. try, for instance

Python

name = ["foo","boo", "goo"] # a list of indexed variables...
print(name[1])
name[1]="jhonson"
print(name[1])
