Create the same objects with different names without loop

Question

How can I do something like below:

Object a,b,c = new Object ();

i.e. creating multiple objects with different names? Or must they all be created seperately as below?

Object a = new Object ();
Object b = new Object ();
Object c = new Object ();

Are you sure you also want three variables? Why not creating a container like an array or a `List` and then looping over it? Please do not use `Object` in your code if you have something more specific (ignore if it was just for an example). — Zabuzard, Aug 07 '18 at 17:33
There is also a misconception on your end: you are instantiating objects of the *same* class, but you are creating three distinct, different objects. When you buy three sheep, you have three different animals, not one! — GhostCat, Aug 07 '18 at 17:48

The shortest way would be

Object a = new Object(), b = new Object(), c = new Object();
int foo=5, bar=9, zzz=7;
