[smiley22]

function prevValue(value) {
...
... ... return value;
...
... }
...
...
... function call(){
...
... var variable;
... variable = return value;

......
... }

how can I get the return value in order for me to assign it in the variable in the function cal() ?

thanks guys for your replies...

To call a function inside another funtion you just put the function name and provide the required arguments e.g to call prevValue inside call, you simply do

var myValue = prevValue(aValue);

remember one thing that if a function does not return any value then the return value is undefined.

look at this example .....

function test()
{
//my code but no return value.
}
function another_test()
{
 alert(test()); //It will alert an undefined value.
}
 

Okkk.
Have a good day.

but what if i already called the function inside another function and what i want is to assign the return value to a variable to another function, a third function.


thanks for your time..

gudluck.

then you return the value in your second function?

function function1(somevalue)
{
    return somevalue
}
 
function function2()
{
    var aValue = 'something';
    return function1(aValue);
}
function function3()
{
    return function2();
}
 
function3() //Returns 'something'

function function1(somevalue)
{
    return somevalue
}
 
function function2()
{
    var aValue = 'something';
    return function1(aValue);
}
function function3()
{
    return function2();
}
 
function3() //Returns 'something'

i have a return value but i cannot access its value and assign it a variable in function3(), function3() will just access the return value and assign in variable.

thanks for your replies.

it was highly appreciated....
