Why is this simple global variable not working inside a function 

var test_1 = "None";
$(function(){
    console.log(test_1)
})

I am getting the result Undefined

  • Maybe you don't have jQuery? – Tap Jun 01 '18 at 00:48

  • The $ variable will be equal to `jQuery` if the library is loaded on your page. Try this: `jQuery(function() { console.log(test_1); })`. If you get an error that jQuery is not defined, that's your problem. – Tap Jun 01 '18 at 00:54

Check, whether you have jquery or not. I have created a jsfiddle (https://jsfiddle.net/2kudvsr0/) for your code and its printing None (desired output).

Just make sure you are executing your code once jQuery is imported successfully.
