Javascript - Create Variable with If statement

Question

So. Im trying to create an "Alien Invasion" inspired game. And i was wondering how to correctly create a variable with an if statement.

Fx.

    if (gunIsShot){
     // Create variable 'theShot' 
    }

    var theShot{

     // theShot configs

    }

Thanks

`if (gunIsShot) { var theShot }` – Яois May 17 '14 at 09:25 — Яois, May 17 '14 at 09:25

You can use an if statement

var theShot;
if(gunisshot){
    theShot=1;
} else {
    theShot=0;
}

Or ternary operators

var theShot = gunisshot ? 1 : 0;

What do you mean by "instances of the variable"? – elclanrs May 17 '14 at 09:16
You dont instanciate variables in js. If you know object oriented programming and try toapply the concept to your js app, you should read this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/572897/how-does-javascript-prototype-work – Armel Larcier May 17 '14 at 09:23
