Creating variables in loop

[dragonturtle]

Hi,

is it possible to create variable names in a loop? For example, in the following loop I'm trying to create variables named V0, V1, V2, etc. and assign them values 0, 1, 2, etc., but V+i doesn't work.

for (i=0; i<10; i++){
  var V+i = i;
}

I cannot use an array because these variables are going to be applied to a formula queried from a database (e.g. if the formula is V0*V1+V2, the page will show a result of 2 in this case).

Thanks.

for ( var i=0; i < 10; i++ ) {

	eval( &quot;var v&quot; + i + &quot; = &quot; + i );
}

A tip for the future: don't get too friendly with eval() if you can avoid it. ;o)

Oops - forgot to mention that you cold use an associative array if you wanted.

	var var_list = new Object();

	for ( var i=0; i < 10; i++ ) {

		var_list[ &quot;v&quot; + i ] = i;
	}

You would access the values like:

var_list[ "v3" ]

HTH.
