#37423 — Adding a variable to a variable NAME

If I want a series of variables, like this:


     var1 = "groovee";
     var2 = "groovee";
     var3 = "groovee";

...and so on, how would I do it? I will obviously use a loop like this:

 for (i=1; i = 3; i++) { blah blah

but how would I assign the NAME of the variable to be "var" + the loop variable? ie. var1, var 2, so on?


PHP calls this $$x, unless I'm mistaken - how does *JS* do it? :)

Thanks.

I saw someone suggested this, seems easy.

for (var i = 0; i < coords.length; ++i) {
    var str ="var"+ i+" = groovee";
    eval(str);
}

But someone else said one really should use arrays instead var[i]=groovee

UNTESTED - but something like   for (i ... ) window["var"+i] = Str, and for variables local to a function use the name of the function ?? ??
