Answer 1

Use parseInt() for this, Check snippet below

function calculate() {
    var numberOne = document.querySelector(".first").value;
    var numberTwo = document.querySelector(".second").value;
    var sum = parseInt(numberOne) + parseInt(numberTwo);
    document.querySelector(".result").innerHTML = "The sum of the two numbers is : " + sum;
  }

 <p>Calculate sum of two numbers !</p>
  Enter 1rst Number:<br>
  <input type="number" class="first" placeholder=""><br><br>
  Enter 2nd Number:<br>
  <input type="number" class="second" placeholder=""><br><br>
  <input type="button" onclick="calculate()" value="calculate">
  <p class="result"></p>

Answer 2

Example , you can use this:

var numberOne:number = +document.querySelector(".first").value;
var numberTwo:number = +document.querySelector(".second").value;
var sum = numberOne + numberTwo;

You should use + Angular typeScript

Answer 3

Javascript takes dom elements as string only by default. To make mathematical calculation, you need to typecast it to integer/float or convert to number.

parseInt(number) = number, truncates after decimal value
parseFloat(number) = number with decimal values
Number(number) = number with or without decimal

Answer 4

It's just because value returns with string. So sum operation ends with concatenation. you need to convert both those values.

user below code

 var sum = parseFloat(numberOne) + parseFloat(numberTwo);

Answer 5

Your numberOne and numberTwo are strings, so you get concatenated strings when use + sign with two string. Parse first to numbers then sum them. You can use parseInt() and parseFloat() functions for it.

var numberOne = '7';
var numberTwo = '8';

var sum = numberOne + numberTwo;
console.log(sum);

sum = parseFloat(numberOne) + parseFloat(numberTwo);
console.log(sum);

Answer 6

Who are using javascript in salesforce make sure

var a= 8 ;
var b =8 ;
var c = a+b;

This will give u result output = 88; It is will just concatenate. If you want to add those two: You should write logic as :

var a = 8;
var b = 8
var c = parseInt(a)+ parseInt(b);

This will give you the desired result of 16 , The same is the case with multiplication.

Hope this helps.
