Introduction

Numbers, text, and true-or-false values behave differently. Adding numbers calculates a sum; combining strings joins text. Convert a value deliberately before using it in a calculation.

Syntax & example

const price = 12;
const quantity = 3;
console.log(price * quantity);

Expected output

36

Common mistakes

  • Using a variable before assigning a value to it.
  • Mixing text and numbers without converting deliberately.
  • Skipping an empty input or a boundary value when testing.

Practice

Store a price and a quantity, then calculate their product.
