I wrote this small script that would calculate a students GPA. I decided to test it midway and it appears as if the code messes up.

<body>
<input type="text" id="varA">
<input type="text" id="varB">
<input type="text" id="varC">
<input type="button" value="Add" onclick="addNumbers('varA', 'varB', 'varC')"></input>
<h1 id="testResult"></h1>
<script>
function addNumbers(elem1, elem2, elem3) {
var a = document.getElementById(elem1).value;
if (a == 90){
a = 4
}
var b = document.getElementById(elem2).value;
var c = Number(a) + Number(b);
c = c / 8
document.getElementById("testResult").innerHTML = c;
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
For example if I add 2 and 2 and 12 instead of displaying 2 it displays 1.75 which is weird.
You forget to add the third values so you get wrong results.
If you inputs 2,2,12 result is 0.5, because of (2+2)/8 = 4/8 = 0.5.
For 2,12,2 or 12,2,2 result is 1,75 because of (2+12)/8 = 14/8 = 1,75
This should give you the desired result.

I tried changing the value into an integer with parseInt it still didn't work and whenever I run it it always just says NaN.
I tried changing the variables a1, b1 and c1 to number directly by (writing a1 = 3 for example) and it worked fine then. I'm still a novice and I don't know what to do.

There are some issues with this code. First is that you're declaring var a1 b1 c1 and m outside your isIt function. So those variables are created and initialized only when your code loads and not in every call to isIt. That means that when you call isIt those variables aren't updated with the new values on the inputs and the calculations are made with whatever value they had on page load. Second is that here var trueC0 = Math.sqrt((a*a) + (b*b)) and here var c = Math.sqrt( a*a + b*b); you're using var a and b which doesn't exist. That's the reason why it returns Nan. I believe they should be a1 and b1. Here is the working code:
<script>
//function to know if its a triangle
function isIt() {
var a1 = document.getElementById('a').value;
var b1 = document.getElementById('b').value;
var c1 = document.getElementById('c').value;
var m = Math.sqrt(a1 * a1 + b1 * b1);
if (c1 === m) {
document.getElementById('answer').innerHTML = 'YES!';
} else {
var trueC0 = Math.sqrt((a1 * a1) + (b1 * b1));
var trueC2 = trueC0.toString();
document.getElementById('answer').innerHTML = "NO! c needs to be " + trueC2 + " too be a right-angle triangle";
}
}
//function to calculate c
function findc() {
var a1 = document.getElementById('a').value;
var b1 = document.getElementById('b').value;
var c1 = document.getElementById('c').value;
var m = Math.sqrt(a1 * a1 + b1 * b1);
var c = Math.sqrt(a1 * a1 + b1 * b1);
document.getElementById('answer').innerHTML = c.toString();
}
</script>
Also note that here if (c1 === m) c1 and m can be floating numbers and Javascript has issues with floating numbers comparison. It is very common that it returns false even when the numbers are equal. There are libraries for doing that.

}

</html>
When the script loads, your a1,b1,c1 and m initialized, but at that time, user haven't entered any value, so all of them are undefined. When function isIt and findC execute, they are using undefined values for calculation. That's why your code doesn't work. Also m is a number, but c1 is string, you will need == to compare them, or you need to cast c1 to number if you want to use === for comparing them.
Hope it helps
So I have a function that I need to pass 3 values, but my values are allways 0 if I don't enter them, and undefined if enter them. How to fix this issue?

<input id="b" type="text" name=""><br>
<input id="c" type="text" name=""><br>
<input type="button" onclick="calculate()" value="Calculate">
<div id="output"></div>
<script>
var a = Number(document.querySelector('#a').value);

function calculate(a, b, c){
//console.log(a);

document.querySelector('#output').innerHTML = `<h4>Area = ${p}</h4>`;
</script>

You need to get value from elements and set it to #output element each time calculate function is called. Check out my solution below.
var aElement = document.querySelector('#a');
var bElement = document.querySelector('#b');
var cElement = document.querySelector('#c');
var outputElement = document.querySelector('#output');
function updateArea () {
var a = Number(aElement.value);
var b = Number(bElement.value);
var c = Number(cElement.value);
var res = calculate(a, b, c);
outputElement.innerHTML = `<h4>Area = ${res}</h4>`;
}
function calculate (a, b, c) {
return 2*(a*b + a*c + b*c);
}
<h4>Enter Dimensions</h4>
<input id="a" type="text" name=""><br>
<input id="b" type="text" name=""><br>
<input id="c" type="text" name=""><br>
<input type="button" onclick="updateArea()" value="Calculate">
<div id="output"></div>
You are collecting the value of a, b and c at the beginning of the program. At first, the input boxes don't have any value, so the value of a, b and c is undefined. So collect the value when the submit button is clicked.
Try this approach:
function calculate(){
var a = Number(document.querySelector('#a').value);
var b = Number(document.querySelector('#b').value);
var c = Number(document.querySelector('#c').value);
var p = 2*(a*b + a*c + b*c);
document.querySelector('#output').innerHTML = '<h4>Area = ${p}</h4>';
}

I was just trying to write a simple javascript program that will demonstrate to take user input from text field, and clicking the button will display the summation result of those number in another text field. But unfortunately the below code is not working. Clicking the button does not show anything in the result text field.
<body>
<div>
<div>
<h1>Add two number using text box as input using javascript</h1>
</div>
Enter First Number : <br>
<input type="text" id="Text1" name="TextBox1">
<br>
Enter Second Number : <br>
<input type="text" id="Text2" name="TextBox2">
<br>
Result : <br>
<input type="text" id="txtresult" name="TextBox3">
<br>
<input type="button" name="clickbtn" value="Display Result" onclick="add_number()">
<script type="text/javascript">
function add_number(){
var first_number = parseInt(document.getElementsById("Text1").value);
var second_number = parseInt(document.getElementsById("Text2").value);
var result = first_number + second_number;
document.getElementById("txtresult").innerHTML = result;
}
</script>
Here a working fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/sjh36otu/
function add_number() {
var first_number = parseInt(document.getElementById("Text1").value);
var second_number = parseInt(document.getElementById("Text2").value);
var result = first_number + second_number;
document.getElementById("txtresult").value = result;
}
When you assign your variables "first_number" and "second_number", you need to change "document.getElementsById" to the singular "document.getElementById".
var first_number = parseInt(document.getElementById("Text1").value);
var second_number = parseInt(document.getElementById("Text2").value);
// This is because your method .getElementById has the letter 's': .getElement**s**ById
<script>
function sum()
{
var value1= parseInt(document.getElementById("txtfirst").value);
var value2=parseInt(document.getElementById("txtsecond").value);
var sum=value1+value2;
document.getElementById("result").value=sum;
}
</script>
You made a simple mistake. Don't worry....
Simply use getElementById instead getElementsById
true
var first_number = parseInt(document.getElementById("Text1").value);
False
var first_number = parseInt(document.getElementsById("Text1").value);

It should be document.getElementById("txtresult").value= result;
You are setting the value of the textbox to the result. The id="txtresult" is not an HTML element.
<script>
var text1 = document.getElementById("Text1").value;
var text2 = document.getElementById("Text2").value;
var answer = parseInt(text1) + parseInt(text2);
function add_number(){
document.getElementById("txtresult").value = answer;
}
</script>
its Not document.getElementsById function its document.getElementById try it
Instead of writing
.innerHTML = result;
use
.value = result;

You can simply convert the given number using Number primitive type in JavaScript as shown below.
var c = Number(first) + Number(second);
Hey guys im trying to create a function that takes 3 arguments. The first argument is supposed to be "MULTIPLY" or "DIVIDE" in an input field, then followed by two numbers which are also in separate input fields, that should be either multipled or divided according based on the first argument. I cant figure out exactly how i'm supposed to write this down in code.
this is my code so far;
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script src="ovning3-3.js"></script>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<h1></h1>
<p>
</p>
<input id="first" type="text">
<input id="second" type="text">
<input id="third" type="text">
<input type="button" value="Multiply" onclick="multiply()">
<input type="button" value="Divide" onclick="divide()">
<input type="button" value="Multiply and Divide" onclick="multiplyAndDivide()">
</body>
</html>
and the java script;
function multiply() {
var x = document.getElementById("first").value;
var y = document.getElementById("second").value;
var z = document.getElementById("third").value;
var result = (x * y) * z
alert(result)
}
function divide() {
var x = document.getElementById("first").value;
var y = document.getElementById("second").value;
var z = document.getElementById("third").value;
var result = (x / y) / z
alert(result)
}
function multiplyAndDivide() {
multiply();
divide();
}
Any help out there?
You can use only one function
function multiplyOrDivide(todo){
var x = document.getElementById("first").value;
var y = document.getElementById("second").value;
var z = document.getElementById("third").value;
if(todo==0){
alert(Number(x*y*z));
}
else{
if(y!=0 || z!=0){
alert(Number(x/y)/z);
}
}
}
In onclick you can pass options as multiplyOrDivide(1)
See if this is what you want
<!DOCTYPE html>

var x = document.getElementById("first").value;
var y = document.getElementById("second").value;

result = x*y;
else if(d=="/")
result = x/y;
alert(result)}

Let me know if you need any further explaination
You can use select menu to choice which operation you want to perform. To use js functionality, you can take a look this:
function calculate() {
var selected_operation = document.getElementById("operation");
var operation = selected_operation.options[selected_operation.selectedIndex].value;
if (operation == 'multiply')
multiply(operation);
else if (operation == 'divide')
divide();
else if (operation == 'mulitiply_division')
multiplyAndDivide();
}
function multiply() {
var x = document.getElementById("first").value;
var y = document.getElementById("second").value;
var z = document.getElementById("third").value;
var result = (x * y) * z
alert(result);
}
function divide() {
var x = document.getElementById("first").value;
var y = document.getElementById("second").value;
var z = document.getElementById("third").value;
var result = (x / y) / z
alert(result);
}
function multiplyAndDivide() {
multiply();
divide();
}
To see the whole scenario, please visit DEMO
function mul()
{
var a = document.getElementById("v1").value;

This is how to make it work, now, I don't know what math you're trying to apply in there and what's it's purpose...
The main reason the script is breaking is because you are calling length() on num variable instead of num.length. Below is a link to a working fiddle with that and a few other adjustments made ( check to see if the value's are integers etc...).
