Raspbian (Jessy) - root@Raspberry Pi - Putty

In the Terminal i type in

finalquestion=0finalanswer=0

now i got a script with this code

#!/bin/bash
source /lib/lsb/init-functions

echo $finalanswer              #just as a test
if [ ! "$finalanswer" = "0" ]
then
        rm -r mnt/objects/all
        log_warning_msg "All Files has been deleted" || true
        touch its_over.txt
else
        let finalanswer=1
        log_action_msg "Var finalanswer was 0. setting back to 1" || true
fi

there is a cronjob that starts this script every hour

sooo. somewhere there must be an error. because he is reading the Variable $finalanswer as nothing.

that means variables that has been defined outside of this script will not work?

how do i fix this?
