passing variables between functions

@enderl25Nov 22.2002 — #webmark,

to pass a value from one function to another,

pass the value as a parameter of the function call.

as follows:
---------------------------------------------------

function smile () // function header

{

var me; // variable declaration

sad (me); // function call ( with parameter )

return; // return program control to calling function

}

function sad (me) // function header

{

alert (me); // output value to the terminal

return; // return program control to calling function

}
----------------------------------------------------

if you simply need to access a variable from inside of multiple functions,

declare the variable outside of all functions, thus making it a global variable.

then you will be able to access it from with any subsequent funcitons

as follows:
-----------------------------------------------------

var me;

function smile ( )

{

me = 'big';

alert (me);

return;

}

function sad ()

{

me = 'happy';

alert (me);

return;

}
------------------------------------------------------

hope this helps

@Beach_BumNov 22.2002 — #I think there is a simple answer to your question.

If you have defined a variable, you can use it in as many functions as you want. Its value stays at what ever it was last. You will note that you generally define a variable outside of the function in the first place, then use it in a function. There is no association between a function and a variable per se. So feel free to use a variable in more than one function.

<script . . . .

var whatever

function number1()

...

function number2()

...

</script>

both functions can use variable whatever

Is that what you are asking?
