Maybe I'm missing something so sorry if that's the case but does anyone know if it's possible in jQuery to use the parameter from a function in a variable. For example:
function number(x){
variable_number_x++;
}
And in that code replace x with the function parameter. So for example number(2) would output that it adds 1 to the variable_number_2 variable. Any idea's? Thanks in advance!
window["variable_number_"+x]++; is probably what you need.
I am assuming here that variable_number_2 is a global, but you can replace window with whatever object variable_number_2 is a property of. Alternatively, you can specify an optional parameter that takes the object that the variable is a property of:
var obj = {variable_number_2: 5};
function number(x,obj){
if(typeof(obj)=="undefined"){
obj = window;
}
return ++obj["variable_number_"+x];
}
console.log(number(2,obj)); //logs 6
console.log(obj.variable_number_2); //logs 6
