How to pass variable from one function to the other??

[shachi]

Hello all again,
Can anyone tell me how do I pass one variable from one function to the other?? I tried this:

<script ...>
function test1(){
var hello = "Hello World!!!";
alert('from function one '+hello);
test2();
}
function test2(){
alert(hello);
}
</script>

but doesn't work.

do I use this??:

function test1(){
var hello = "Hello World!!!";
alert('from function one '+hello);
test2(hello);
}
function test2(hello){
alert(hello);
}

or this:

hello = "Hello World!!!";
function test1(){
alert('from function one '+hello);
test2();
}
function test2(){
alert(hello);
}
