How do you create objects using a for loop

Question

I know this is probably really difficult, because I want something like Object1, Object2, etc. This is what I think might work, but probably won't.

for(var x = 1; x<=10; x++){
    var Object + x = new Object();
};

What should I do instead. Thanks in advance!

Use an array and on each iteration, create the object and push to that array. — Fabiano

This is called a variable variable name. Javascript does not support this functionality in the way you're trying to do it. It does support arrays with string indices. So you can do something more like objects["Object + x"] = new Object(); — christopher

If working in the global scope : window['Object' + x] = .... — user1636522

var objects = {};

for (var x = 0; x < 100; x++) {
  objects[x] = {name: "value"};  //value can be a string like "value" or a var like value 
}
