var x, y = 'foo'; Can this be accomplished?

Question

Since it is possible to do:

var x = 'foo', y = 'foo';

Would this also be possible?

var x, y = 'foo';

I tried it, however x becomes undefined.

I know this may seem like a silly or redundant question, but if I'm curious about something, why not ask? Also you will probably wonder why I would need two variables equal to the same thing in scope. That is not the point of the question. I'm just curious.

Answer 1

Not sure if this is what you're asking, but if you mean "Can I assign two variables to the same literal in one line without typing the literal twice?" then the answer is yes:

var x = 10, y = x;
