Generating global variables locally

[Vivek Shanmuganathan \(95410006-BS\)]

Hello:

I am not sure whether I am going to ask a stupid question. Is it possible
to generate, from within a function, a large number of global variables
and assigning values to them? And, it should also be possible to destroy
those global names as and when required by calling a similar function.

For example:

---------------------------
function generate_global_vars(a_vector)
# a_vector is a vector whose size is unknown.

for val = ext

# Here I want to generate global variables 
# and assign values to them. The names and number of these global variables
# will be different based on the size and the value of the vector. For
# example, for a_vector = [10:5:30], I would like to create new global
# variables y10, y15, y20, etc.

endfor

endfunction
---------------------------

Regards,

Vivek...
