JavaScript: Dynamically Creating Variables for Loops

Question

How can I use a for loop to dynamically create variables, and be returned.

function createVariables() { for ( i=0; i<=20; i++ )     {         var account = i;         return var account + i;     }  } 

The goal is to have the result below:

var account1; var account2; var account3; and etc..... 

Answer 1

You should use an array:

function createVariables(){   var accounts = [];    for (var i = 0; i <= 20; ++i) {       accounts[i] = "whatever";   }    return accounts; } 

You then have access to accounts[0] through accounts[20].
