Lesson 5 of 7
Calculate with inputs
value is always text: '8' + '5' gives '85'! Convert first with Number(value).
After the calculation, write the result to the page with textContent.
var a = Number(document.getElementById('a').value);
var b = Number(document.getElementById('b').value);
document.getElementById('result').textContent = a + b;🎯 Your goal
On clicking #add, add the values of inputs #a and #b (converted with Number) and write the result into #result.
