Describe the bug

When I try to call functions defined in previous cells, I'm not getting any output or errors. I'd like to be able to reuse functions defined in other cells. Is there a way to make this work?

You can assign it to a variable like this:

fun1 = function() { console.log("fun1"); }

There's more information here on working with JavaScript in Polyglot Notebooks.
