how to export timeOut variable in JS

  function incrementAttempts(){
        attempts++;
        attemptsHolder.textContent = attempts;
       
        }


// Function to check if the chosen cards match
    function checkForMatch() {
        const [card1, card2] = chosenCards;
        const [cardId1, cardId2] = chosenCardsIds;

        // If the cards match, update foundCards count and display
        if (card1 === card2) {
            foundCards += 2;
            foundHolder.textContent = foundCards;
            if (foundCards === cardsInGame) {
                // const final = attempts;
                setTimeout(()=>{
                    console.log(attempts);
                    alert(`Congratulations! You found all the pairs in ${attempts} attempts.`);
                },0);
         
            }
        } else {
            // If the cards don't match, flip them back
            document.querySelector(`[data-id="${cardId1}"]`).textContent = '';
            document.querySelector(`[data-id="${cardId2}"]`).textContent = '';
        }

        // Clear the chosen cards arrays
        chosenCards = [];
        chosenCardsIds = [];

        // Increase attempts count and display
      incrementAttempts()
    }
