jquery, how to run a function as soon as another function ends

Question

*Note: Re-writing question:

I am trying to write the following outside of the individual function calls:

example:

function f1(){

You could simply call the second function at the end of the first.

 $(document).ready(function() {

  function firstFunction(){
    alert("this is the first function!");
    secondFunction();
  }
  function secondFunction(){
    alert("this is the second function!");
  }

  firstFunction();
});

Alternatively, if you do not wish to call the second function every time you call the first, you could simply call them sequentially

firstFunction();
secondFunction();

This works because it will wait until firstFunction is done before it moves on to secondFunction fiddle
