Question

i’m creating a game in javascript for college and i have a button to call a function but i need it to include variables from another function

if i put the function inside the other function where the variables are the button doesn’t call it

is there a way of doing this or to get the variables that were created in the first function and use them in the second function

it is a simple maths game where you get a random number a random sum and another random number
(i.e. 5+7, 4*3, 2/6, etc,)

so i’ve got a function to show the random number using

var ranNum1a=Math.floor(Math.random()*10);

i need the other function to check the users answer but i need to know what the random number was from the other function

Answer 1

You would need to make those variables global
example:

var myValue;
function setValue()
{
    myValue = "test";
}

function getValue()
{
    alert(window.myValue); // yup, it's "test"
}
