Calling Js script function from external Scripts

Question

Am trying to call a JS script from a function library in another script.

Eg. iceCreams.Js contains --->

iceCream(iceCreams){
var profit = .54

var Total = iceCreams * profits

return Total;

}

register.js contains -->

dailyTotals(wages, iceCreams){

var total = iceCream(iceCreams);

var profit = iceCreaps - wages

return wages;
}

Any help pointing me in the right direction?!

...and iceCreaps should probably be iceCreams. (Also recommend not relying on semicolon insertion; always include the semicolons required.) — T.J. Crowder

Omitting semi-colons is bad practise. Using them willy-nilly is even worse. Always use semi-colons. It'll come back to haunt you when you start programming in a language which requires them. — Matt

So I dont have to point to it iceCream : iceCream(iceCreams)? — Christopher

Make sure your page loads the iceCream.Js before the register.js:

<html>
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="iceCream.Js"></script>
<!-- now you can use functions in iceCream.Js in your register.js -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="register.js"></script>
....
</html>

Running the javascripts is done in client side and after rendering the full html. So, you have to add script tag for the library javascripts before consuming ones. Just add script tag for the library before the one for register:

<script type="text/javascript" src="iceCreams.Js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="register.js"></script>

Both script files must be referenced on the page they are used.

Additionally, to get IntelliSense in Visual Studio to work within the script, add the following line to the top of register.js:

/// <reference path="iceCreams.js" />
