dotq - kdb+: use string as variable name -

how can use string variable name?

i want variable name constructed during runtime, how can use left argument , assign value it?

example:

[`$"test"] : 1              / 'assign error

you use "set" create global:

q){(`$"test") set 1;test}[] 1 q)test 1

or (as noted user2393012 in comments):

@[`.;`test;:;1]

if want avoid globals use sort of namespace/dictionary/mapping:

q){d:()!();d[`$"test"]:1;d`test}[] 1
