I can't get the health variable updated..I get an update if i console.log it inside the function but it won't outside?
var health;
health = 9;
function scaringCat(event) {
    var catAngry = new Audio("sounds/cat_hiss.mp3");
    catAngry.play();
    health = health -1;
    return health;
}
buttons[1].addEventListener('click', scaringCat);
				
                        
Have a look at this simple javascript code its updating health variable every time.Check console.
