How do I create dynamic variable names inside a loop?

Question

I'm working on an ajax google maps script and I need to create dynamic variable names in a for loop.

for (var i = 0; i < coords.length; ++i) {

    var marker+i = "some stuff";

}

What I want to get is:

marker0

,

marker1

,

marker2

and so on.
and I guess there is something wrong with

marker+i

Firebug gives me this:

missing ; before statement

Answer 1

Use an array for this.

var markers = [];
for (var i = 0; i < coords.length; ++i) {
    markers[i] = "some stuff";
}
