How to add two strings as if they were numbers? [duplicate]

Answer 1

var result = Number(num1) + Number(num2);

Answer 2

Use the parseFloat method to parse the strings into floating point numbers:

parseFloat(num1) + parseFloat(num2)

Answer 3

convert the strings to floats with parseFloat(string) or to integers with parseInt(string)

Answer 4

function sum(){
    var x,y,z;
    x = Number(document.getElementById("input1").value);
    y = Number(document.getElementById("input2").value);
    z = x + y;
    document.getElementById("result").innerHTML = z ;
}

Answer 5

@cr05s19xx suggested on a duplicate question:

JavaScript is a bit funny when it comes to numbers and addition.

Giving the following

'20' - '30' = 10; // returns 10 as a number '20' + '30' = '2030'; // Returns them as a string The values returned from document.getElementById are strings, so it's better to parse them all (even the one that works) to number, before proceeding with the addition or subtraction. Your code can be:

function myFunction() {
  var per = parseInt(document.getElementById('input1').value);
  var num = parseInt(document.getElementById('input2').value);
  var sum = (num / 100) * per;
  var output = num - sum;

  console.log(output);

  document.getElementById('demo').innerHTML = output;
}

function myFunction2() {
  var per = parseInt(document.getElementById('input3').value);
  var num = parseInt(document.getElementById('input4').value);
  var sum = (num / 100) * per;
  var output = sum + num;

  console.log(output);

  document.getElementById('demo1').innerHTML = output;
}

Answer 6

I use this in my project.I use + sign to treat string as a number (in with_interesst variable)

<script>
function computeLoan(){
var amount = document.getElementById('amount').value;
var interest_rate = document.getElementById('interest_rate').value;
var days = document.getElementById('days').value;
var interest = (amount * (interest_rate * .01)) / days;
var payment = ((amount / days) + interest).toFixed(2);
var with_interest = (amount * (interest_rate * .01));
var with_interesst = (+amount * (interest_rate * .01)) + (+amount);
payment = payment.toString().replace(/\B(?=(\d{3})+(?!\d))/g, ",");
document.getElementById('payment').innerHTML = "Target Daily = PHP"+payment;
document.getElementById('with_interesst').innerHTML = "Amount w/Interest =   PHP"+with_interesst;
}
</script>

<div name="printchatbox" id="printchatbox">
 <form id="Calculate" class="form-horizontal">
   <h2>You Can Use This Calculator Before Submit </h2>
   <p>Loan Amount: PHP<input id="amount" type="number" min="1" max="1000000"  onchange="computeLoan()"></p>
   <p>Interest Rate: <input id="interest_rate" type="number" min="0" max="100" value="10" step=".1" onchange="computeLoan()">%</p>
    <p>Term<select id="days" type="number" min="1" max="72" step=".1" onchange="computeLoan()">
    <option value="40">40 Days</option>
    <option value="50">50 Days</option>
    <option value="60">60 Days</option>
    <option value="70">70 Days</option>
    <option value="80">80 Days</option>
    <option value="90">90 Days</option>
    <option value="100">100 Days</option>
    <option value="120">120 Days</option>
    </select>
    </p>                        
   <h2 id="payment"></h2>
   <h2 id ="with_interesst"></h2>
 </form>
</div>

Hope it helps
