jQuery adding 2 numbers from input fields

Question

I am trying to add two values of alert boxes but I keep getting a blank alert box. I don\'t know why.

$(document).ready(function(){
    var a = $(\"#a\").va         


        

Answer 1

There are two way that you can add two number in jQuery

First way:

var x = parseInt(a) + parseInt(b);
alert(x);

Second Way:

var x = parseInt(a+2);
alert(x);

Now come your question

var a = parseInt($("#a").val()); 
var b = parseInt($("#b").val());
alert(a+b);
