Question

Is there a solution I can use that allows me to define more than one var with the same value in a single step at the start of my funcion?

function myFunction () {
    var a,b = 0;
    document.write(a) // undefined
    document.write(b) // 0
}

Is there an improved way to write a,b = 0; ?

Answer 1

Something like this, however I don’t like it.

var var1 = "hello",
    var2 = "world",
    var3 = 666;

Better

var var1 = "hello";
var var2 = "world";
var var3 = 666;
