How do I call a function within a function? I am working on a project and have a variable defined within add() that I wish to use in add2(), but I cannot define it outside of add() as it will be used many times with different values

Javascript:

function Question1() {
  var CurrentQuestionPoints = 100;
  function AddPoint(){
    Team1Points = Team1Points + CurrentQuestionPoints;
    document.getElementById("Team1Points").innerHTML = Team1Points;
  }
}

HTML: 

<a href="javascript:AddPoint()" id="AddPoints">+  </a><a href="javascript:SubtractPoints()" id="SubtractPoints">-</a>

    You can only call that "AddPoint" function from *within* the "Question1" function (as currently written). – Pointy Jan 31 '14 at 23:38

  • You could make them all separate functions and just pass the currentquestionpoints string with the addpoint function call. Like AddPoint(100) – SyntaxLAMP Jan 31 '14 at 23:50
