6 - Javascript Tutorial - JavaScript Variables

Mine doesnt give the actual addition...

it always gives the value of the first number then the second number...

(I.E. 100100 instead of 200)

when you declare a var x you gave it the value with double quotes surrounding like this

x = "100";

y="100";

you should do it like this:

x=100;

y=100;

z=x+y;

if you got any detailed code or more questions visit the forum & post your questions there :)

no..

to be more specific I had a prompt for num1 and a prompt for num2 and then added the num1 and num2.

[Coderisland]

That is why... the prompt is taking the values as strings

[JustaFreak15]

Is there a way to make the prompt take it as an integer or decimal value?

hey man i got an answer for your problem but i can not post source code here, if you posted your problem on the forum it would have bin a lot easier for us, the trick is to use parseInt() function, if you like you can go to coderisland website start a new thread & i will post you a whole code about how to acquire values from prompt box & casting it into integer.
