### Using timeline variables in a function

Continung the example from the previous section, what if we wanted to show the name with the face, combining the two variables together?
Continuing the example from the previous section, what if we wanted to show the name with the face, combining the two variables together?
To do this, we can use a [dynamic parameter](dynamic-parameters.md) (a function) to create an HTML-string that uses both variables in a single parameter.
However, because we are getting the value of a timeline variable in a function, we need to use `jsPsych.evaluateTimelineVariable()` instead of `jsPsych.timelineVariable()`. `.evaluateTimelineVariable()` immediately gets the value of the variable when it is called, while `.timelineVariable()` creates a placeholder that jsPsych evaluates at the appropriate time during the execution of the experiment.

Sampling is declared by creating a `sample` parameter.
The `sample` parameter is given an object of arguments.
The `type` parameter in this object controls the type of sampling that is done.
Valid values for `type` are
Valid values for `type` are:

* `"with-replacement"`: Sample `size` items from the timeline variables with the possibility of choosing the same item multiple time.
* `"without-replacement"`: Sample `size` items from timeline variables, with each item being selected a maximum of 1 time.
