I have two input fields, see here.

When I add the values (1 and 1), the output is not 2, but 11, why?

  • try - `var sum = parseInt(x) + parseInt(y);` – s.kuznetsov Jan 10 '21 at 19:39

Looks like .value is making x and y evaluate to strings, not integers. You could use the pareseInt() function to convert these to integers before adding them together.

parseInt() example usage: https://www.w3schools.com/jsref/jsref_parseint.asp
