How can I dynamically set theName and change it? Is there a way to do that?

var myTeam = new Object ();

 function AddObject(theName) {

   var person = new Object();
   person.firstName = "John";
   person.lastName = "Doe";
   person.age = 50;
   person.eyeColor = "blue";

  myTeam.theName =  person;
}

AddObject("Example1");
AddObject("Example2");
AddObject("Example3");

yes? I'm not sure I know what your question is? It looks like you've already done that with `myTeam.theName = person;` – Isaac Dec 21 '16 at 20:34
Do you have more code? – Thomas Juranek Dec 21 '16 at 20:34
He wants to do `myTeam[theName] = person`. No more code is needed. – JJJ Dec 21 '16 at 20:34
@JJJ That's a reasonable assumption, but not completely clear. Don't know what to vote. – Oriol Dec 21 '16 at 20:36

@Oriol I think it's obviously what he wants. `theName` is a parameter to the function, so it's a variable, not a literal property name. – Barmar Dec 21 '16 at 20:37
Jackpot: myTeam[theName] = person – Martin Andersen Dec 21 '16 at 20:38
