Calling Javascript function with variables as parameters

Question

How can I call a javascript function and pass some variables to be used as parameters for instance

Say the function javascriptFunction uses 2 parameter. I will usually call it as javascriptFunction("param1", "param2") (with single quotes around the strings). But now I want to pass it some variables.

string y = "this is a string"
string x = "another"
javascriptFunction(y, x)

I have tried javascriptFunction(@y, @x), javascriptFunction("@y", "@x") (with single and then double quotes around the strings) but this does not work

EDIT I am actually making the call through a view (cshtml file). So my variables are strings.

It's always good to start learning new language with some tutorials. — VisioN

The issue is that I do not create or initialize my variables in the javascript file but an cshtml page that uses strings — jpo

Part of me wants to close this question for being so basic, but I know this is exactly the type of question that SO is made to answer. There must be a duplicate somewhere, but I can't find it. — Shmiddty

JavaScript has a weak type system. There's no need to specify the types. All variables' types are determined by their values. They are created with the keyword var:

var y = "this is a string";
var x = "another";

_{[And don't forget to use semicolons!]}

Semicolons are not necessary though.

Not to mention that you could use a comma after the first string (in place of a semi-colon) and omit the second var.

@VisioN why did you make it so small now??

This should work

var y = "this is a string", x = "another";
javascriptFunction(y, x);
