Answer 1

What you're parsing line is saying is

Add the totalValue to the string from the input, then parse the result.

Which is why it's concatenating. Instead, you need to add the totalValue outside of the parseInt() so that it's saying

Take the take the totalValue and add the parsed input value to it.

Like this

totalvalue = totalvalue + parseInt($(this).val());

This can be further shortened to

totalvalue += parseInt($(this).val());
