Hello ,  
Is there a way to simplify the next line :  
int A2=1,A3=1,A4=1,A5=1,A6=1;  
thank you.

Depending on how you are going to use it:

- Use an array instead of different names for easier access
- Write them not in one line but underneath each other for better visibility + it doesn’t matter, wont be slower

As @MxFxM said, you can use an array as such:

`int[] numberArray = {1,1,1,1,1};`

Hope that clarifies it,
