Hello all,

I’m not too sure on how to describe this without confusing everyone but basically, i have:

prevslot = “jslot”+historynum+“full”;

historynum is a dynamically gathered number from another part of my code. it will be like 1 or 2 or 3 etc.

The problem is that i want to like set the value of that variable to false, so for example if historynum was equal to 1, the value of prevslot would be jslot1full. I need to set the value of prevslot to false, i tried prevslot = false; but obviously that just sets prevslot to false, not the value of prevslot. Is there any way to set the value of prevslot to false?
