I have a bunch of labels starting from
#property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *lastNumber0;
#property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *lastNumber1;
#property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *lastNumber2;
#property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *lastNumber3;
#property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *lastNumber4;
#property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *lastNumber5;
#property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *lastNumber6;
#property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *lastNumber7;
#property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *lastNumber8;
#property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *lastNumber9;
#property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *lastNumber10;
#property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *lastNumber11;
#property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *lastNumber12;
#property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *lastNumber13;
#property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *lastNumber14;
#property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *lastNumber15;
#property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *lastNumber16;
#property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *lastNumber17;
#property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *lastNumber18;
#property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *lastNumber19;
#property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *lastNumber20;
#property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *lastNumber21;
#property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *lastNumber22;
#property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *lastNumber23;
And these are aimed to be passed through on an iteration basis in a for loop here;
for (int d = 0; d < [lastNumbers count]; d++) {
int value = [[lastNumbers objectAtIndex:d] intValue];
if ([red containsObject:[NSNumber numberWithInteger:value]])
{
self.lastNumber0.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%i", value];
self.lastNumber0.textAlignment = NSTextAlignmentLeft;
self.lastNumber0.textColor = [UIColor redColor];
}
if ([black containsObject:[NSNumber numberWithInteger:value]])
{
self.lastNumber0.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%i", value];
self.lastNumber0.textAlignment = NSTextAlignmentRight;
self.lastNumber0.textColor = [UIColor blackColor];
}
if ([green containsObject:[NSNumber numberWithInteger:value]])
{
self.lastNumber0.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%i", value];
self.lastNumber0.textAlignment = NSTextAlignmentCenter;
self.lastNumber0.textColor = [UIColor greenColor];
}
}
}
Hopefully this makes sense, where self.lastNumber0.text would be replaced with a programtical self.lastNumber[d].text <-- and I know that will not work, but that's what I'm trying to achieve, I tried this
NSString *labelName = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"lastNumber%i", d];
But cannot figure out how to do self.labelName.text = blah...
Thanks for reading and if you need any more information just ask. Thanks!
ANSWER
int yInc = 310;
for (int i = 0; i < 32; i++) {
label[i] = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(460, yInc, 100, 10)];
label[i].font = [UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:11];
label[i].backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:0 green:0 blue:0 alpha:0.3];
[self.view addSubview:label[i]];
yInc = yInc - 10;
}
for (int d = 0; d < 32; d++) {
int value = [[lastNumbers objectAtIndex:d] intValue];
if ([red containsObject:[NSNumber numberWithInteger:value]])
{
label[d].text = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%i", value];
label[d].textAlignment = NSTextAlignmentLeft;
label[d].textColor = [UIColor redColor];
}
if ([black containsObject:[NSNumber numberWithInteger:value]])
{
label[d].text = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%i", value];
label[d].textAlignment = NSTextAlignmentRight;
label[d].textColor = [UIColor blackColor];
}
if ([green containsObject:[NSNumber numberWithInteger:value]])
{
label[d].text = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%i", value];
label[d].textAlignment = NSTextAlignmentCenter;
label[d].textColor = [UIColor greenColor];
}
}
}

Instead of making a bunch of IBOutlets to the individual labels, make a single IBOutletCollection to all of them. Now the labels are the elements of an array and you can just cycle through that array.
