In ansible, how can I assign values to variable based on conditions?

I want to assign a value to a variable based on my env name. If env=e1, some variable name "var" should get the value as "x". If env=e2, "var" should get the value as "y".

Let me know your suggestions!

Say you have an env var called FOO.

- hosts: localhost
  gather_facts: "False"
  vars:
    my_env_var: "{{ lookup('env','FOO') }}"
  tasks:
    - name: "set e1"
      set_fact:
        my_ansible_var: "x"
      when: my_env_var == "e1"
    - name: "set e2"
      set_fact:
        my_ansible_var: "y"
      when: my_env_var == "e2"

You can now reference the {{ my_ansible_var }} value anywhere it is needed.
