i'm only able to recall the values of the Array testi2 when n = 1. Why?

I saved all reopened it but same behavior.


testi1 = new Array("a","b","c")
testi2 = new Array("x","y","z")

function simp(n,s)

{
        post (n);
        post (s);

        if (n=1) {n = testi1;}
        if (n=2) {n = testi2;}

        post (n[s]);
        post ("n");

}
