When the player wins the bet my game displays the total amount of money afterwards as a combined string (i.e. If a player has $50 before betting and wins $10, it will display that their total amount afterwards as $5010 instead of $60). This also happens when the player loses and the pot gains money. This doesn't happen when the player or pot loses money. Does anyone know what is causing this? |

Make sure u cast the data type because Javascript think it is a string and u try to concat a string. |

JS is changing the pot into a string because the bet was inputted as a string. |

Use parseInt() to change the string to an integer data type. a += parseInt(input) |

Is the bet input being converted into a number? Think Its treating the value as a string and concatenating. convert it to a number ex: var bet = Number(number); |

This is because the type of number variable is not "number", its actually a string. so what you can do is convert string to number. There are plenty ways of doing so, you can find it by yourself. |

The most concise way to do this is to multiply the number *1. ex. var pot+=input*1 This will make sure that the variable gets casted as a number instead of the string, without the use of the parse function. |
