How can I get the array outside the function?
<pre><code>$("#div").click(function(){
 $('#myselect').change(function() {
     var names = [];
     $('.checkbox input').each(function() {
           if(this.value != ''){
                 names.push(this.value);
                }
             });
     console.log(names);
  });
});
</code></pre>

<p>I need to use the <code>names</code> outside that function to use it on another function. Can anyone tell me how to do it?</p>

<pre><code>$("#dropdown").change(function(){
  console.log(names);
});
</code></pre>

<p><code>names</code> is an array.</p>
