javascript create variable name from string code example

Example 1: variable name to string javascript

//Get variable name as string
function getVariableName(v) {
    for (var key in window) {
        if (window[key] === v)
            return key;
    }
}

//testing
var someValue = "something not important right now";
console.log(getVariableName(someValue)); //>> prints "someValue"
//also works in functions
function print(a) {
  console.log(getVariableName(a)); //>> prints "someValue" because of line 16
  //you'd think it would print "a" but it doesnt
}
print(someValue);//>> look at line 14

Example 2: how to name a javascript variable

//variables can include any letter, any number, or the underscore
	//NO SPACES!!! USE UNDERSCORES!!!
	//variable names are case sensitive
	//example:
var change_this = 'whatever you want here'
	//change_this is a variable (change it to your variable name)
	//'whatever you want here' is a string (you'll learn about this later)

    var sum = 0
    for (let i = 0; i < x.length; i++) {
        sum += x[i]
    }
    console.log("sum of " + varName + " is " + sum)
}
