Hey

I'm taking a beginner class and an assignment I was given was to create an equation with JavaScript that web viewers could use with whatever inputs they chose. Here's the source code:

 
var a;
var b;
var c;
a = prompt("a =");
b = prompt("b =");
c = prompt("c =");
var result;
result = a + b + c;
alert(result);

My problem is that

 
result = a + b + c;

concatenates the values instead of adding them; I searched and found that applying parseInt(variable) fixes this and tried it with success, but I was wondering if there is a simpler way, a function that performs "result = a + b + c" with addition rather than concatenation. I've tried various incarnations of "result a + b + c" and haven't been able to overcome this.

I appreciate any advice and thank you for reading this post. I also apologize if this question has been broached before.

Thank you

Using parseInt is the correct approach.
