'Ui' was not declared in this scope

Hi,
I added a line what I like to have is to sign the distance to U i, i = 0, 1, 3, how should I do it please?
Thanks
Adam

#include <NewPing.h>

#define SONAR_NUM 3      // Number of sensors.
#define MAX_DISTANCE 200 // Maximum distance (in cm) to ping.

NewPing sonar[SONAR_NUM] = {   // Sensor object array.
  NewPing(10, 11, MAX_DISTANCE), // Each sensor's trigger pin, echo pin, and max distance to ping.
  NewPing(12, 13, MAX_DISTANCE),
  NewPing(8, 9, MAX_DISTANCE)
};

uint8_t currentSensor = 0;
uint8_t U = 0;

unsigned int cm[SONAR_NUM];


void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200); // Open serial monitor at 115200 baud to see ping results.
}

void loop() {
  for (uint8_t i = 0; i < SONAR_NUM; i++) { // Loop through each sensor and display results.
    delay(50); // Wait 50ms between pings (about 20 pings/sec). 29ms should be the shortest delay between pings.
    ///// Serial.print("U");
    Serial.print(i);
    Serial.print("=");
    Serial.print(sonar[i].ping_cm());
    Serial.print("cm ");

    Ui = sonar[i].ping_cm();

  }
  Serial.println();
}

ERROR:

This report would have more information with
"Show verbose output during compilation"
option enabled in File -> Preferences.

Ok, show us the line where "Ui" is declared.

Thanks.
"U" is declared in front, and ,' i' is declared in for. How to use them together?

Take this Forum as example:
there's the user

Paul_KD7HB

and there is the user

shanren

but there is no user

Paul_KD7HBshanren

The same is true with your variables.

What do you want to get in the end?

What value do you want Ui to contain, particularly as it is never used in the sketch ?

Do you perhaps have in mind to declare U as an array and then to store values in it indexed by the value of i ?

Thanks.
The newping gives out distances measured without a name, I want to use the result say U0 / U1 /U2 later on.

than you would need to declare and use an Array

Did you mean 'U'?

Edit: slow response.
Please Unlike this response.

You cannot invent variable names at runtime but you could use an array U[3] and hold values in the array addresses of U[0], U[1] and U[2]

yes.

You really should check the return type of ping_cm - 255xm.isnt that far, and a sensor could return a valid, bigger value.
And you really should ping just once, and store the result.

Thanks.
The question here is how to store the result?

13

Could that be the answer?

Thanks.
uint8_t U = 0; changed into: uint8_t U[3] = {0}; works.
