Insert variables in jQuery checkbox code

Question

I have the following jquery code:

$("#MLSAreaMajor1").prop("checked", false);
$("#MLSAreaMajor2").prop("checked", false);
$("#MLSAreaMajor3").prop("checked", false);

I want to loop through this code and replace the MLSAreaMajor with a variable, the 1,2,3 after the MLSAreaMajor would be a variable based on loop number, and the false will also be a variable as it my say false or true.

I can't seem to get the correct syntax and have tried numerous things.

Is this you want? $("#" + MLSAreaMajorVariable + LoopVariable).prop("checked", anothervariable) — Satpal

$("#"+variable+loopvariable).prop("checked", anothervariable); — Michel

Is that all the MLSAreaMajor elements, or a subset of them? — David Thomas

It should be something like this

var someVariable = "MLSAreaMajor";
for(var i = 1; i <= someNumber; i++) {
    var condition = false; // check in here if it should be true or false
    $("#"+someVariable+""+i).prop("checked", condition); }

This worked, thanks. Just one comment for other novices like me, I was passing the condition as 'false' instead of false with no quotes, and that caused a problem too.
