Global variable

[deaks007]

Hi, I have created a clock face and it works well, I am now trying to add a countdown feature, I have all the math and coding issues sorted, but I need to pass a couple of variables through multiple functions, can I create a global variable that will work across multiple functions?

Hello @deaks007 I've moved your post into the app development board.

Yes, you certainly can.

let globX = 0;

function setX() {
  globX = 1;
}

function setAnotherX() {
  globX = 2;
}

Or you can just pass it around the functions.

function setX() {
  let someX = 1;
  someX = setAnotherX(someX)
}

function setAnotherX(valX) {
  return valX++;
}

Yeah I thought it should be like that, been doing the first option and it is not working, I am unsure why. might try a rewrite and see if that fixes my issues.

Thanx.
