Dynamic object creation in Swift 3 - ios

Question

I am a total swift noob. I am trying to build dynamic objects. In my example I am trying to create instances of a PAGE class from my BOOK class. I guess I am not sure how to dynamically create them/name them or reference them for use later. I understand I cannot create dynamic names... I am guessing I put them into tan array? Any help or input appreciated.
//page class
class pageview : UIView {
var page: UIView!
init () {
super.init(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: bookwidth, height: bookheight))
page = UIView(frame: CGRect(x: bookposx, y: bookposy, width: bookwidth, height: bookheight))
page.backgroundColor = UIColor.blue
book.addSubview(page)
}
required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
fatalError("init(coder:) has not been implemented")
}
}
//book class
class bookview : UIView {
var cover: UIView!
var backcover: UIView!
var page: UIImageView!
init (numberofpages: Int) {
super.init(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: bookwidth, height: bookheight))
//pages
for i in 0 ..< numberofpages {
//PROBLEM HERE
let page (i) = pageview()
self.addSubview(page (i))
}
}
required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
fatalError("init(coder:) has not been implemented")
}
}
//add book
let book = bookview(numberofpages: 3)
container.addSubview(book)

I don't know if I undestand your question correctly. But check this out:
class bookview : UIView {
var cover: UIView!
var backcover: UIView!
var pages: [pageview] = []
init (numberofpages: Int) {
super.init(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 400, height: 400))
//pages
for _ in 0 ..< numberofpages {
let page = pageview()
pages.append(page)
self.addSubview(page)
}
}
required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
fatalError("init(coder:) has not been implemented")
} }
