Update variable when checking checkbox

I have a script with some variables, & I would like to update one of these variables depending on the checkbox being checked or not. The checkbox is unselected by default. What I have now is this:

var checked = $('#accept').attr('checked');if (checked) {    permission = "Y";} else {    permission = "N";};var track = {    version: 123,    id: 123456789,    order: {        sv1: 'Y',        sv2: 'N',        sv3: 'Name',        sv4: permission,        orderid: '123xyz'    }};console.log(track);

I would like to update the content of the variable “permission” based on a click event of a checkbox:

$('#accept').click(function () {      if (checked) {      permission = "Y";      } else {      permission = "N";      };});

Fiddle here.

But how is that possible?

In order to update your object key (sv4) value:

If you already store the permission into your Object track, well, than don’t hesitate to use your object & directly manipulate it & setting a new value to it’s key using =.

var permission = $('#accept').is(':checked') ? "Y" : "N";var track = {    version: 123,    id: 123456789,    order: {        sv1: 'Y',        sv2: 'N',        sv3: 'Name',        sv4: permission,        orderid: '123xyz'    }};console.log( track.order.sv4 );                       // returns: N$('#accept').change(function () {    track.order.sv4 = this.checked ? "Y" : "N";    console.log( track.order.sv4 );                   // returns: Y});

^{Never forget to define internally your variables by setting var.}

The $('#accept').is(':checked') uses the jQuery .is() method that returns a boolean (true/false) which than we set using Ternary Operator ( ? : ) to "Y" / "N"
