I was looking around and i found that a few people had issues with how to reset all their variables to a set value.

So when i googled this i found a lot of tips that was almost doing it, but with a lot of unnecessary steps, and very much not beginnerfriendly readability in their scripts.

So im going to put down a few ways i figured might be the easiest way of doing this. thats also very easy for a beginner to read at a later time.

we are using these variables, and want to change them all to the same value.

var a = 1;
var b = 4;
var c = 2;
var d = 6;

  • `var` is deprecated. And global variables have their own problems, and hence there's almost always a better way to solve a problem than a global variable. – Andreas Aug 25 '22 at 09:57

  • @Andreas it's not actually deprecated – GrafiCode Aug 25 '22 at 10:01

    @GrafiCode Not actually _deprecated_ but it's the legacy-way of doing variables. _Imho_: You really should skip `var` completely and go with `let` and `const` ¯\\(°_o)/¯ – Andreas Aug 25 '22 at 10:08
  • @Andreas yes I agree – GrafiCode Aug 25 '22 at 10:10

below is a few ways you can kind of do this.

With a function.

var a = 1;
var b = 4;
var c = 2;
var d = 6;

function clearData(){
    a=b=c=d= false; //change false to what ever u want
}

With an array

var a = 1;
var b = 4;
var c = 2;
var d = 6;


var dataSet = [
    a,b,c,d
] = Array(5).fill(0) //change the 0 to what ever u want

This way i know i myself would find the code a lot easier to read aswell at a later time.

Hope it can help you! :)
