I'm exercising in javascript calculations using a combination of maths and variables and i'm finding a difficulty on using the right way parentheses. For example i want to do the following calculation [(4,95/ans2)-4,5]*100
where ans2 is a calculated variable. In the last field i get 45.000 and i should take - 4.046 ... if the input in the first and second fields was 2 + 2
<form name="Calcultor" Method="Get" id='form1'>First Number:
<input type="text" name="first" size="35" id="first">+ Second Number:
<input type="text" name="second" size="35" id="second">
<br>Answer:
<input type="text" name="ans" size="35" id="ans" />
<input type="text" name="ans2" size="35" id="ans2" />
<input type="text" name="ans3" size="35" id="ans3" />
<button type="button" onclick="Calculate();">Calculate</button>
</form>
<script>
function Calculate() {
var first = document.getElementById('first').value;
var second = document.getElementById('second').value;
var ans = document.getElementById('ans').value;
var ans2 = document.getElementById('ans2').value;
document.getElementById('ans').value = parseInt(first) + parseInt(second);
document.getElementById('ans2').value = 1.112 - 0.00043499 * parseInt(document.getElementById('ans').value) + 0.00000055 * Math.pow(parseInt(document.getElementById('ans').value), 2) - 0.00028826;
/* in the following line i can't figure how to use with a proper way parentheses to prioriterize the calculations with the way i mentioned in the example before the code snippet*/
document.getElementById('ans3').value = [( 4.95 / parseInt(document.getElementById('ans2').value)) - 4.5] * 100;
}
</script>
The issue was in this row:
document.getElementById('ans3').value = [( 4.95 / parseInt(document.getElementById('ans2').value)) - 4.5] * 100;
. You need to use()
instead of[]
for grouping and you also don't need toparseInt
the value. Here is the working snippet:
