Im coding a bot for discord and im making a staff list and im not sure how to have a whole id in a var, here's an example: var 223618180445110274 = "staff";

Every time i run it, it says this: SyntaxError: Unexpected number and it targets the ID (223618180445110274) and I've tried quotes and such and it still wont work

PS. once someone gives me an answer that works i will remove this.

A variable name can't start with a number – adeneo Nov 13 '16 at 06:36
You just can't start a variable name with number. – devfaysal Nov 13 '16 at 06:36
Is there any reason, why you want number as an identifier? – Sreekanth Nov 13 '16 at 06:40
@Sreekanth my bot gets the user by id and i need to have the `usersID = "staff"` thing for it to work – ZerterCodes Nov 13 '16 at 06:44
in that case, does grouping all you variables into a object work for you? – Sreekanth Nov 13 '16 at 06:47
@Sreekanth I'm new to js so im not sure what you mean – ZerterCodes Nov 13 '16 at 06:50
alright, you cant really declare variables dynamically. However, you could create new key value pairs based on some input, in your case the user id. you could do something like var Ids = { }; ids["223618180445110274"] = "staff"; and you could access it as ids["223618180445110274"] – Sreekanth Nov 13 '16 at 06:52
As per the variable naming, numbers cant be used as variable names. However, you could use them as keys on an object – Sreekanth Nov 13 '16 at 06:53
@Sreekanth so whould this work? `if(ids["223618180445110274"] = "staff")` – ZerterCodes Nov 13 '16 at 06:55
yes it should. minor change it should be == not = – Sreekanth Nov 13 '16 at 06:55
I got a error `ReferenceError: ids is not defined` – ZerterCodes Nov 13 '16 at 06:56
you need to declare and populate the ids object first to access them. If you haven't declared / populated them , you would run into these issues. – Sreekanth Nov 13 '16 at 06:58
@Sreekanth this is the code i got, i probably made a huge mistake knowing me: [ScreenShot](http://prntscr.com/d6mawx) – ZerterCodes Nov 13 '16 at 07:00
you should use Ids instead of ids. I think, it would be a good starter for you to get a feel of JS from the link mentioned as a closure for this question. it is very well explained on naming conventions and other details. – Sreekanth Nov 13 '16 at 07:01
@Sreekanth thank you so much!, i got it to work now [Screenshot of output](http://prntscr.com/d6mc3d) – ZerterCodes Nov 13 '16 at 07:06
glad your problem is resolved – Sreekanth Nov 13 '16 at 07:14
