Can you change parts of code with other code

Question

I want to make it that if I press button a function x is called, if I press button b and after that button a again function y is called. But it shouldn't be solved with an if...then...else syntax.
Any ideas or is the problem unclear?

Answer 1

I would create a boolean and set it to true when I press a. Then, if b is pressed and this boolean is true, the other function is executed.
But you will need at least an if statement or as mentioned by @Frank a ternary operator.

Answer 2

'Shouldn't be solved with if,then,else syntax'

If this is like a homework assignment you could use a tenary operator as a stand in for if/else statement. Whats the need for this restriction? More detail would be useful.

Answer 3

button a calls function x
button b along with button a call function y right?

Answer 4

@Drax I thought of that myselfe, I'm just a relative newbee so I thought there would be a better way to solve the problem. But thanks.

Answer 5

Look at PHP. I don't know of a way in Javascript.

Answer 6

what I think.. is...since you want a button to call the function...then assign the function to the button...just like you assign a link to an image.. when you click the image.. the link loads.. right???
