I am running a loop function with an AJAX request inside it, and the success function on the AJAX need to access a counter variable outside of the loop function, but it wont access it.

```
   var updateCount = 10;
   var runCount = 0;
   $('#main-table .changed').not("[value='0']").closest('tr').each(function(e){
            if($(this).closest('tr').find('.changed').val() == 1){
                var row = $(this).closest('tr');
                var notes = row.find('input[name="notes"]').val();
                var category = row.find('select[name="category"]').val();
                var fileId = row.find('select[name="file"]').val();
                var fileRow = row.find('.file-id').val();
                var quarter_id = row.find('.quarter-id').val();  
                $.ajax({
                    url: '/myurl',
                    type: "POST",
                    data: {_token: CSRF_TOKEN, 'file_row' : fileRow, 'files' : fileId, 'notes': notes, 'category' : category, 'type' : type, 'quarter': quarter_id, 'row_count':updateCount},
                    success: function(data){
                        if(data == 0){

                            console.log("yes");
                            //I need to increment the runcount here, but it wont increment
                            runCount++;

                        }
                    }
                });

               //If i increment the run count here outside the AJAX request, it works
                runCount++;

                if(runCount == updateCount){
                   console.log("Done");
                }
            };
    });

```

As stated in the notes, i need to access the `runCount` variable inside the ajax success function, but I cant. It works fine if I access it just outside of the AJAX request.

Just to confirm, the ajax request is working, as it is console logging `yes` for each time, so I cant see why it wouldn't increment?
