I keep getting “undefined” as result from returning the variable inside a function.

This is the code:

var nloads = 1;
function something(loc) {
    console.log(nloads); // returns 1
}
function changeSection(loc) {
    console.log(nloads); // Returns undefined
    nloads = nloads + 1;
    temp = nloads;
}

What’s wrong with it?/What may be causing the problem?
