JS. How do you add input type " number" as a number _ and avoid strings?

Question

HTML || JS -
Is there a way to add inputs (specifically _ "number").value?
If I had 3 input type = "number",
How do you add their values as a number?

When I did it, it added it up as a string.
And when I used += it adds a number to the one input.
Here's the code I had:

Answer 1

Getting NaN as the output IS wrong. The first thing:
Turning an HTML element into a number will result in NaN, you should probably get the value of it. Second: you don't have to use other lines to make them numbers:
+document.getElementById("inp1").value
(Notice that the plus sign is there, so you don't have to use seperate lines)
Second:
Now that I actually look at your code, I think it would be easier to use 2 - signs:
inbA.value -- inpB.value
Subtraction doesn't work on strings, so they will be treated as numbers, and you don't have to change lots of things

Answer 2

There are two different ways to turn a string into a number: with a plus sign and with parseInt.
I personally like + better, since it js shorter and also accepts floats

input = +input;
input = parseInt(input);

Answer 3

I just showed you

Answer 4

Probably because you took the inputs while the page loaded; most people have problems typing that fast. Just use what you used at first:
inpA = document.getElementById("inp1");
...
but.innerHTML = inpA.value - - inpB.value
