Logging the number of times something has happened.

Question

I made a simple coin flip script that will output heads or tails. I want the console to log the number of times the coin has been flipped (Flip [#] Result: [result])

Here is my code:

Answer 1

Defining the flip variable outside the function will make it as you want.

JavaScript Code :

var flips = 0;
function flipCoin(){
// Array for the outcomes possible
var choice = ["Heads", "Tails"];

// Generates random choice of heads or tails
var result = choice[Math.floor(Math.random() * choice.length)];

document.getElementById("result").innerHTML ="Result: " + result;

flips = flips + 1;
// Logs the result of the role
console.log("Flip " + flips + " Result: " + result);
}
