Javascript variable substitution

Question

I have an array

daysoftheweek:['Monday', 'Tuesday','Wednesday', 'Thursday', 'Friday','Saturday', 'Sunday'],

Also I have functions

function totalMonday() {}
function totalTuesday() {}

Can I use variable substitution to call them?

total+{daysoftheweek[0]}

what do these functions? this feels like an example where one function with an argument would be the better solution. — Thomas

they are actually vuejs computed values but you are right, I created a method thay takes a couple of params. Although the answer is correct I feel it is a bit messy. — LeBlaireau

Use bracket notation on window object:

window['total' + daysoftheweek[0]]()
