Prototype Assignment functions...

[PhoenixCode]

I'm in the process of simplifying my code and I want to find out how feasible it is to do the following...

Example 1:

Q("a","blah");
 
// or a.Q("blah");
// to assign the value of "blah" to the variable a
 
alert(a); // -----> returns "blah"

Example 2:

Q("x",123 + 456);
 
// or x.Q(123+456)
// to assign the value of the sum of 123 + 456 to the variable x
 
alert(x); // -----> returns 579

Anybody have any idea how to go about creating a function that could do that?

Please don't question why I want to do this, I want to know if it's possible and how... and please don't provide me with answers like:

a = "blah";

and

x = 123 + 456;

Just humor me... this is something I want to try, so I want to know how possible it is to do this sort of thing...

Thanks...

How about:

function Q(variable, value) {
  window[variable] = value;
}
