How to bring in variable from another function?

I am setting up my custom cell but would like to include a variable that I created in the retrieve weather function. For example, If I say "Let text = "test"" in the reviewWeather function, how can I include the variable "text" in the "cellForRowatIndexPath" function?

You need to declare the constant outside of the function if you want it to be accessed outside of the function. Probably somewhere at the top of your code. Then when you use them later, like inside the weather function or somewhere else, you don't declare them with the "let" keyword anymore, you just use the name of the constant by itself. So for example

let test = "test text"

func myFunction() {
    print(test)
}

func otherFunction() {
    let longerText = "this is some longer \(test)"
    print(longerText)
}
