How to use console.log(); for multiple variables

Question

I am using p5.js and Kinectron to have one server computer display RGB, Depth, and Skeleton data from another computer over LAN, and it's own kinect.

Using p5.js, I am trying to log two different variables to the console, and I am only able to log one of the variables.

Code:

   ...
    function drawJoint(joint) {
      fill(100);
      console.log( "kinect1" + joint);
      // Kinect location data needs to be normalized to canvas size
      ellipse( ( joint.depthX * 300 ) + 400 , joint.depthY * 300 , 15, 15);

      fill(200);

    ...

    function draw2Joint(joint2) {
      fill(100);
      console.log ("kinect2" + joint2);

      // Kinect location data needs to be normalized to canvas size
      ellipse(joint2.depthX * 300 , joint2.depthY * 300, 15, 15);

      fill(200);

      ...

When running the above code, the console only shows Joint data from Kinect 1 in real-time, whereas I need both Kinect's Joint data to be logged to the Console.

How can I use console.log for multiple variables/arguments ?

Thanks in advance!

Please provide a running code so that anyone can debug it and let you know where it lacks. — Shubham Baranwal

Yes, draw2joint is being executed, I know this because when I dont use and console.log(); lines, I can see the Skeleton from 2 kinects on one computer, meaning that function must be working. — Jay Tailor

@NullPointer , would I use console.log(var1, var2, var3); inside the function or outside it? — Jay Tailor

You will have to use global variables so that you can log them at the same time. Here are the lines of code to add into the functions that you have so far.

// add global variables 
var joints1 = null;
var joints2 = null;

function bodyTracked(body) {
  // assign value to joints1
  joints1 = body.joints;
}

function bodyTracked2(body) {
  // assign value to joints2
  joints2 = body.joints;
}

function draw() {
  // log current values at the same time
  console.log(joints1, joints2);
}

drawJoint and draw2Joint are called from somewhere so you can log joint and joint2 at that time.

console.log(joint,joint2);

Try this

var joint1,jointtwo;
function drawJoint(joint) {
  fill(100);
  joint1=joint;
  // Kinect location data needs to be normalized to canvas size
  ellipse( ( joint.depthX * 300 ) + 400 , joint.depthY * 300 , 15, 15);

  fill(200);

...

function draw2Joint(joint2) {
  fill(100);
   jointtwo=joint2;

  // Kinect location data needs to be normalized to canvas size
  ellipse(joint2.depthX * 300 , joint2.depthY * 300, 15, 15);

  fill(200);

  ...

  console.log(joint1+":"+jointtwo);

Does it matter where the last line,. console.log(joint1+ ":" +jointtwo); goes? Would it be after all the functions or inside a function

joint1,jointtwo are global variables so you can get the values

If it is not working...make jsfiddle and send me your full code..i will edit it

We are getting undefined:undefined in the console. However, we have been using p5.js editor online and as an application. jsfiddle.net/jaytailor15/koLr3zhm/#&togetherjs=KD8zH2atFf

Check your function calling or not?
