Correct apporach to call a function in javascript/jquery using function's name

Question

I am having a function like this in one of the script file,

function ex(data){
//do something
}

I want to call this function from another script file with parameters. What should be the correct approach? I went through this which is having many solutions, I tried them all but all are working in mozilla only.

Also I am new to javascript/jquery so please pardon my silly mistakes if any.

You need to include the `script file` where the above `function` exists, before the `script file` where you are calling this `function` — Guruprasad J Rao, May 24 '16 at 07:35
I assume `window.ex()` throws a TypeError? Use some developer tools to debug. — shennan, May 24 '16 at 07:37
Why you give a -1 to this question? Really I don't understand. He's a novice javascript programmer and he's using stack overflow to understand and learn new things. — Ema.jar, May 24 '16 at 07:48

You should do something like that:

first.js

function ex(number) {
    alert(number);
}

second.js

function otherFunction() {
     ex("two");
}

Now you should include these two js files in your HTML:

<script type="text/javascript" src="first.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="second.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
    otherFunction( );
</script>
