pardon me if this is a repeat question and i am still a beginner.

see the code below :

$scope.clicked=function(key,value){
    $scope[key]=value;}

the above code returns $scope.key is undefined or $scope.key=value even if i pass any value to key. lets say i call the function using $scope.clicked('yes','i am yes') . I want $scope.yes = 'i am yes'; what i get is $scope.keys='i am yes'; . how do i achieve what i want.?

$scope[key]=value; should work. –  BatScream 18 hours ago

$scope.[key]=value is invalid syntax. Try $scope[key]=value –  Ed Cottrell 18 hours ago
    
sorry about that. i was using right syntax in my original code. here i typed wrong. –  raj 18 hours ago
    
$scope.keys='i am yes'; ,is it incorrect too, as there is no variable like keys. And please copy paste the exact code which you are working on. –  Rishi Prakash 18 hours ago
    
Although it's working I have checked it on Jsfiddle. –  Rishi Prakash 18 hours ago

You are using incorrect Syntax $scope.[key] is wrong. $scope[key] is right.
