Program not functionning

I'm still new in JavaScript. I am trying to make a program that contains 2 buttons and once a button is clicked, it creates a random number.

The problem is that when I'm trying to compare them, it is not showing which one is bigger. First I thought the problem is that the variables aren't global but it didn't change anything.

Can someone help me find the problem please?

Here is the JavaScript code:

var par1 = document.getElementById("para1");
var par2 = document.getElementById("para2");
var winner = document.getElementById("win");
 
function button1() {
    num1 = Math.floor(Math.random() * 7);
    par1.innerHTML = num1;
}
 
function button2() {
    num2 = Math.floor(Math.random() * 7);
    par2.innerHTML = num2;
}
if (num1 > num2) {
    winner.innerHTML = "the winner is player 1";
} else {
    winner.innerHTML = "the winner is player 2";
}

            <p id="para1">Click the button to see what you get</p>
        </div>
        <div>
            <h1>Player2</h1>
            <button type="button" name="button2" id="but2" onclick="button2()">roll 
     dice</button>
            <p id="para2">Click the button to see what you get</p>
        </div>
        <p id="win">let's see who wins!!!</p>
        <script src="dicestimulator.js"></script>
    </div>

Solution

if(num1>num2){
winner.innerHTML="the winner is player 1";
}else{
winner.innerHTML="the winner is player 2";
}

You are not calling the above block no where in your HTML code.

My solution for you make a third button that calls the function getwinner

function getWinner() {
if(par1.val>par2.val){
winner.innerHTML="the winner is player 1";
} else{
winner.innerHTML="the winner is player 2";
}
}

Please note that you cannot call local variables created in functions outside those functions. num1 and num2 cease to exist after the scope of the function that created them.
