title: Convert string to variable name or variable type
body: <p>Is it possible to convert strings into variables(and vise versa) by doing something like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>makeVariable("int", "count");
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>or </p>
  
  <pre><code>string fruit;
  cin &gt;&gt; fruit;    // user inputs "apple"
  makeVariable(fruit, "a green round object");
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and then be able to just access it by doing something like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>cout &lt;&lt; apple; //a green round object
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance!</p>
