Funcion and Variable related Question

Hi everyone. So, on my script, I have a function that is called once you click a button. It adds 1 to a variable. The problem is that I can't use the total value later in the script. I would like to use that value on another function. Is that possible?? Thank you all

Alexandre Now I see the problem. In your code: var n_jogadores, inputPlayers, nomear, jogador=new Array(11), jog=new Array(11), p; function maisJogadores(){ n_jogadores++; } the variable n_jogadores has no value (NaN) and you want to add the 1. This does not work in most of the programming languages.

You can do that by making that variable global scope.

Yes of course, that is possible. Where is your attempt or better a link to it?

This is the code, I took a few parts off, cause I needed all html pages for this to work. https://code.sololearn.com/W28WXUSbgwGk/?ref=app

Thanks Ja Play But, on my code, I declare the variable "n_jogadores=0" at the beginning. Then, at the function I add 1, now "n_jogadores" should be equal to 1. And when I use "alert(n_jogadores)" inside of the function, it says "1" but outside doesn't. Well, I came up with the idea of using "sessionStorage" for this. I think it will work, but if you don't mind, why does it(what I said earlier) happen? Anyway, thanks for your time

Ja Play I see. Ok, I'll try to use it and then I'll set your answer as correct. Btw, sorry about the name of my variables. English isn't my mother language. Thank you all : ) [Edit] I've already test it and it works, so @Ja Play Thanks a lot. Your answer saved me hours of searching!

Maybe that can be helped: In the example below, a is a global variable and b is local variable. // a can here be used but b cannot be here used var a = 4; function myFunction() { // a and b can here be used var b = 3; return a * b; } // b cannot be here used. a can here be used. https://www.sololearn.com/learn/315/

Alexandre it‘s works. Try the code below: var counter = 0; function first() { counter++; } function second(){ alert(counter); } first(); second(); console.log(counter); counter++; second();

Your welcome Alexandre . The idea - if you want to change the page - using session storage for onward transmission is good.
