Just made a demo, there are anyway different ways to do the same thing and i tried to choose the more readable, try to experiment on your own the others... or why not? Make some controls. What if i add a character "a" rather than a number? Have fun! :) https://code.sololearn.com/WMG9EWqqG713/?ref=app

You called in a bad way the function at the onclick (you forgot to insert the parenthesis) and you make a calculation between two DOM elements and not their value. Basically this is a way to solve pretty easy: function plus(){ var num1=document.getElementById("num1").value; var num2=document.getElementById("num2").value; return parseInt(num1) + parseInt(num2); } function answer(){ alert (plus()); } In the first lines you obtain id's value and in the return value you make an addition between their value converting it in an integer number.

@Coder parseInt is a JavaScript method for type conversion, specifically for converting strings to Integers... it is used like this : var myNum = parseInt("100"); // this outputs 100. Another method for similar type conversion is parseFloat(); for converting strings to Floats...
