Calling second function in first function

Question

I have particular function named profilefrm() in which I am checking conditions returning true or false, I have created another function checkcontacts(). I have called this function in first one. I have successfully returning true or false from second one. I have flow is

function profilefrm(){
if condition1{
// on false 
returning false;
}
checkcontacts();
}

function checkcontacts(){
if condition1{
// on false 
returning false;
}
return true;
}

But issue is on false condition in second function it is taken as true in first one. and refreshing page accordingly.

I think you forgot to return the return value from checkcontracts in profilefrm. You're now just calling the function but not returning it's result from there. — Bas Slagter

You could return the result of the checkcontacts function:

function profilefrm() {
    if (condition1) {
        // on false 
        return false;
    }

    return checkcontacts();
}

But as I am calling function checkcontacts() in middle of function profilefrm() so if checkcontacts() return true it will also return true in mid of function profilefrm()

Darin Dimitrov Over a year ago

@RahulSingh, in this case assign the result of the checkcontact to a variable that you could use later when returning: var result = checkcontacts();.

What would happen false or true will be stored in result. what happen on both conditions.?

Darin Dimitrov Over a year ago

@RahulSingh, this will depend on what the checkcontacts function returns.

on false condition from second one. it will return false at that moment. but in case if it return true than I need to check rest conditions written in profilefrm() after checkcontacts().

function's return value should specify. function do no return if not specify.

firtst function change to below.

function profilefrm(){
    if condition1{
        // on false 
        returning false;
    }
    return checkcontacts();
}
