I want to define an associative array like this

var theVar = [

  { 100, [0, 1, 2] },

  { 101, [3, 4, 5] }

]

Essentially I want to be able to access an array of three numbers by specifying the custom index.

However, no matter what I try I cannot make it work.

I know I can define it as:

theVar[100] = [0, 1, 2];

theVar[101] = [1, 2, 3];

But I am setting this somewhere else and I'd prefer to be able to set it in a single statement.

theVar = {

  100: [0, 1, 2],

  101: [3, 4, 5]

}

might do the trick. You can then access using theVar[101] (or theVar[101] for that matter).

(As var is also a keyword in JavaScript, using it as a variable name is very likely to cause problems.)
