If I have a variable x := "a"x := "a".
Is there a way I can use it to assign a value to aa, by just referring to xx?
If I try Evaluate[x]=4Evaluate[x]=4 I get error messages about Tag Times in x Null is protectedTag Times in x Null is protected.
I would like some way of having it execute a = 4a = 4.
