I can't get the variables to add. They end up concatenating. Javascript.

Question

function avg(){

let name = prompt('Enter Your Name')
let test1 = prompt('Enter test score 1')
let test2 = prompt('Enter test score 2')
let test3 = prompt('Enter test score 3')

// its concatenating instead of adding them to get the sum of the three test scores. I cannot figure out how to make it think their numbers.

let avg = parseInt(test1) + parseInt(test2) + parseInt(test3) / 3;

alert(`${name}, your averge score is ${avg}!`);

}

avg()

Answer 1

your solution doesn't concatenate scores as string, but you miss parenthesis to get the correct result:

let avg = (parseInt(test1) + parseInt(test2) + parseInt(test3)) / 3;

division has higher precedence than addition, so your solution first compute test3/3 and then add test1 and test2 ;P

Answer 2

James E. Ronco didn't my answer solve your problem?

Answer 3

Answer 4

why not marking my answer as best, so?

Answer 6

wow, that was working on Daniel Briceño answer but not on mine?

I think there's a bug, and you should inform sololearn at [e-mail]...

Answer 7

And what if you concatenate them like this:
var total=name+", your averge score is"+avg+"!";
alert(total);
Variable concatenation is what I like the most about javascript. just do:
var string1="The numbers are: ";
var string2=" And so variables are concatenated";
string1+"1:"+1+" 2:"+2+""+string2;

This answer is not for this question.
