Meteor how to call another function in current function?

I have a function in helpers. I want to call that function in my next function. How can I fall it ?

'first_func' ()
{
    return "hello";
},
'second_func' ()
{
    return this.first_func();
}

This is not working. I want to call first function in second one.

Thank YoU!

Like @thatgibbyguy says, you can just define a function in the same file and use it. In a Meteor template helper, this is the data context of the helper, not the template instance itself.

Template.myTemplate.helpers(
  first_func(){
    return myFunction();
  },
  second_func(){
    return myFunction();
  }
);
function myFunction(){
   return "Hello"
}

You can also register a global helper which can be used from any template

With the way you're trying to do this, you would not need this. So you would be able to call the first function like so:

function first_func() {
   //`this` is bound to first_func()
   return "hello";
}

function second_func () {
   //`this` is bound to second_func()
   return first_func();
}

second_func(); // returns 'hello'

It appears, however, that you're trying to call functions within a class or a method. I can't guess at how or why, though, so please see the answer at Can you write nested functions in JavaScript?
