I am trying to place 10 objects randomly into my world without creating 10 separate method calls. I have the random part, I am just finding difficulty in writing it as one line. Would I need to create a loop or how would this be done? Any help would be greatly appreciated, I am new to programming. Thanks!

I was able to figure this out by using a loop variable.

Yeah, you use a loop. My favorite to use is the for loop: 
for(int index = 0; index < numOfObjectsYoureTryingToCreate; index++) {
   addObject(objectYoureTryingToAdd, randomX, randomY);
}
You can also use a while loop: 
int index = 0;
while(index < numOfObjectsYoureTryingToCreate) {
   addObject(objectYoureTryingToAdd, randomX, randomY);
   index++;
}

A loop isn't a variable, it's a statement. You can't do anything like this: 
forLoop a = *something*;
that would be really weird!
