How do I convert a string into an executable line of code in Javascript?

Question

I have the following bit of code

console.log(\"I am\");

var x = \"console.log(\'Alive!\')\";

Now I only want to use x to exec

Answer 1

What you are looking for is called a function:

function x() {
    console.log('Alive!');
}

If x is already a string containing the code you could use eval(x) to execute it. eval is evil though.
