<!--- Start with a girl being just a name. ---> <cfset girl = "Tricia" /> <!--- Now, take that name and turn it into a proper girl (note: not in the "make a woman out of her" way). ---> <cfset girl = { name = girl, hair = "Brown" } /> <!--- Output the newly formed girl struct. ---> <cfdump var="#girl#" label="New Girl" top="5" />
