Assign multiple variables to the same value in Javascript?

Question

I have initialized several variables in the global scope in a JavaScript file:

var moveUp, moveDown, moveLeft, moveRight;
var mouseDown, touchDown;

I need to set all of these variables to false. This is the code I currently have:

moveUp    = false;
moveDown  = false;
moveLeft  = false;
moveRight = false
mouseDown = false;
touchDown = false;

Is there any way that I can set all of these variables to the same value in one line of code, or is the code I currently have the best way to do this?

Answer 1

Nothing stops you from doing

moveUp = moveDown = moveLeft = moveRight = mouseDown = touchDown = false;

Check this example

var a, b, c;
a = b = c = 10;
console.log(a + b + c)
