How to access a variable outside of a loop in javascript

Question

I made a query to an API using Ajax but I wasn't able to use the results outside of the ajax constructs.

It is always telling me xx is undefined.

The issue is to be able to use the xx variable outside that ajax constructs.

Please, how do I achieve that?

$.ajax({
       type: "GET",
       url: url,
       dataType : "json",
       success: function(data){


        var xx = (data.results[0].formatted_address);
   }
})

you can't access var xx outside of success function callback - why do you have loop in the title and for-loop in the tags when your code has absolutley no loop? — Jaromanda X, May 10 '19 at 05:17

try this one

$.ajax({
       url: url,
       method:"Get",
       async:true,
       dataType : "json"
       }).done(function(data)){
        var xx = (data.results[0].formatted_address);
   }
});

Still undefined. I can't use xx outside the ajax construct. – Jack Frank May 10 '19 at 05:32

Define the variable xx outside the ajax block.
