How to dynamically declare variables in a loop?

Question

I'm trying to make a program in which an object is declared every time a loop is passed through.

package sequence;

public class SequenceServer {
    SequenceObj sequence = new SequenceObj();
    public void findSequence(int[] sequence, int lastNumber) {
        for(int i = 0; i < sequence.length; i++) {
            SequenceObj sequenceTemp = new SequenceObj(); // this line is wrong, but I don't know how to make it work
        }
    }
}

There are no errors, but I need to make it so a potentially infinite number of variables can be declared through the user interacting with the program, as opposed to me individually declaring all of the variables.

You probably need some sort of Collection. It is absolutely unclear what problem you are trying to solve. — PM 77-1, Oct 16 '19 at 20:44

Try this:

     `public class SequenceServer {
             SequenceObj sequence;
             public void findSequence(int[] sequence, int lastNumber) {
                      for(int i = 0; i < sequence.length; i++) {
                              sequence = new SequenceObj(); // this line is wrong, 
                         // but I don't know how to make it work
                      }
              }
         }`
