[Solved] "Simple" Calculator HELP ME!

[Soren11112]

var num1 = 1;
var num2 = num1*2;
var num3 = num2*2;
var num4 = num3*2;
var num5 = num4*2;
var num6 = num5*2;
var num7 = num6*2;
var num8 = num7*2;
var num9 = num8*2;
var random1 = random_range(1,9);
var random2 = random_range(1,9);
var random3 = random_range(1,9);
var random4 = random_range(1,9);
var random5 = random_range(1,9);
var random6 = random_range(1,9);
var random7 = random_range(1,9);
var random8 = random_range(1,9);
var random9 = random_range(1,9);
var num1row1 = num+random1;
draw_text(0,0,num1row1);

What I'm trying to do above is make a calculator for a question that a friend posed. My problem is on the second from the bottom row, is there any way I can do something like

 "num"+random1

and if random1 was 2 it would appear as

 num2

?

Use arrays, not single variables.

An array is essentially a list of variables where you specify the value you want with an index.

An example would be:

_num[0] = 1;
_num[1] = _num[0] * 2;
//etc.

_num[_random1] // like this

It is faster to define the array backwards (because of how the memory is allocated) but not necessary.

Sorry, short response. Trying to code with a phone sucks.

Thanks, you got your point across it doesn't need to be longer.
