My strings keep concatenating - Not Adding together???

[spires]

Hi guys.

 

I'm doing a a simple equation, all I want to do is add to value together.

However, instead of adding the are concatenating. Both value are numeric so it should work fine, when I replace the variable with a static numeric number it works fine. but when I use the variable it keeps concatenating.

 

Any ideas?

 

My Code:

var joinedProduct=productarray[1]+productarray[2];
alert(joinedProduct);

 

productarray[1] = 60

productarray[2] = 60

output = 6060

not = 120

 

Thanks

They are both numeric, but that doesn't mean that javascript sees them as numbers. It is seeing them as text.

 

Use this:

 

var joinedProduct= Number(productarray[1]) + Number(productarray[2]);

 

It should solve your problem.
