Answer 1

You can't access the variable names using an Array. What you could do is use objects or pass the variable names as a String:

var x = 7;
var y = 8;

function logVars(arr){
    for(var i = 0; i < arr.length; i++){
        alert(arr[i] + " = " + window[arr[i]]);
    }
}

logVars(["x","y"]);
