Javascript alert on incomplete variables












2















i'm having troubles on javascript arithmetic.
lets say i have 2 elements from html,



var num1 = document.getElementByID('one').value;
var num2 = docuemnt.getElementByID('two').value;

var total = num1 + num2;

alert(total);


these two elements are inputted by users. lets say the user left the id='one' blank. how do i make javascript still compute and alert 'total'? can javascript automatically set the blank field to '0'? i tried this on my project but it will only give me an alert if both 'one' and 'two' were given/inputted. maybe i'm missing something.



Thanks for any help.



ok this is the code i'm using on my project,



var number = document.getElementById('child1').value;
var hrs = document.getElementById('hrs1').value;
var qty = document.getElementById('qty1').value;
var watts = qty * (number / 1000);
var kwh = watts * hrs;
var kwhh = kwh * 30;

var number2 = document.getElementById('child2').value;
var hrs2 = document.getElementById('hrs2').value;
var qty2 = document.getElementById('qty2').value;
var watts2 = qty2 * (number2 / 1000);
var kwh2 = watts2 * hrs2;
var kwhh2 = kwh2 * 30;

var totalperhr = kwh+kwh2;
var totalper30 = kwhh+kwhh2;

alert(totalperhr + ' kwh per dayn' + totalper30 + ' kwh per 30 days');


html below,



<input type="range" min="1" max="1000" id="child1">
<select id="hrs1">
<option value='1'>1hr</option>
<option value='2'>2hr</option>
<option value='3'>3hr</option>
</select>
<select id="qty1">
<option value='1'>1</option>
<option value='2'>2</option>
<option value='2'>3</option>
</select>

<input type="range" min="1" max="1000" id="child2">
<select id="hrs2">
<option value='1'>1hr</option>
<option value='2'>2hr</option>
<option value='3'>3hr</option>
</select>
<select id="qty2">
<option value='1'>1</option>
<option value='2'>2</option>
<option value='2'>3</option>
</select>


as you can see, i'm going thru several operations then getting the grand total. but i'm not getting any alerts if i leave one blank.

    Sounds odd, it shouldn't throw an error - if the value is empty, it will default to the empty string, which is perfectly concatenatable

You can use Unary plus (+) operator to get the number out of the value property of your input, or set it to 0:



+document.getElementById('one').value || 0;


Code example:






const num1 = +document.getElementById('one').value || 0;
const num2 = +document.getElementById('two').value || 0;

const total = num1 + num2;

console.log(total);

<input type="number" value="5" name="one" id="one">
<input type="number" value="" name="two" id="two">





Note: instead of document.getElementByID() you should write document.getElementById()



Your code:






const elements = document.querySelectorAll('#child1, #hrs1, #qty1, #child2, #hrs2, #qty2');
const values = {
child1: 0,
hrs1: 0,
qty1: 0,
child2: 0,
hrs2: 0,
qty2: 0
};
const getTotals = () => {
elements.forEach(elem => values[elem.id] = +elem.value || 0);

const watts = values.qty1 * (values.child1 / 1000);
const kwh = watts * values.hrs1;
const kwhh = kwh * 30;

const watts2 = values.qty2 * (values.child2 / 1000);
const kwh2 = watts2 * values.hrs2;
const kwhh2 = kwh2 * 30;

const totalperhr = kwh + kwh2;
const totalper30 = kwhh + kwhh2;

console.clear();
console.log(values);
console.log(totalperhr + ' kwh per dayn' + totalper30 + ' kwh per 30 days');
};

elements.forEach(elem => elem.addEventListener('change', getTotals));

<input type="range" min="1" max="1000" id="child1">
<select id="hrs1">
<option value=""></option>
<option value="1">1hr</option>
<option value="2">2hr</option>
<option value="3">3hr</option>
</select>
<select id="qty1">
<option value=""></option>
<option value="1">1</option>
<option value="2">2</option>
<option value="2">3</option>
</select>

<input type="range" min="1" max="1000" id="child2">

  • -1, the answer is misleading. As @CertainPerformance has pointed out "if the value is empty, it will default to the empty string, which is perfectly concatenatable". I. e., console.log(42 + ''); returns 42. This snippet will also work after removing the unary operator and the || 0.

    @David that is a not good comment. I will never recommend to anybody that uses a string in a matematic operation.. Because if there is a number what will happen?: console.log(42 + '0'); return 420

You can use Unary plus (+) operator to get the number out of the value property of your input, or set it to 0:



+document.getElementById('one').value || 0;


Code example:






const num1 = +document.getElementById('one').value || 0;
const num2 = +document.getElementById('two').value || 0;

const total = num1 + num2;

console.log(total);

<input type="number" value="5" name="one" id="one">
<input type="number" value="" name="two" id="two">





Note: instead of document.getElementByID() you should write document.getElementById()



Your code:






const elements = document.querySelectorAll('#child1, #hrs1, #qty1, #child2, #hrs2, #qty2');
const values = {
child1: 0,
hrs1: 0,
qty1: 0,
child2: 0,
hrs2: 0,
qty2: 0
};
const getTotals = () => {
elements.forEach(elem => values[elem.id] = +elem.value || 0);

const watts = values.qty1 * (values.child1 / 1000);
const kwh = watts * values.hrs1;
const kwhh = kwh * 30;

const watts2 = values.qty2 * (values.child2 / 1000);
const kwh2 = watts2 * values.hrs2;
const kwhh2 = kwh2 * 30;

const totalperhr = kwh + kwh2;
const totalper30 = kwhh + kwhh2;

console.clear();
console.log(values);
console.log(totalperhr + ' kwh per dayn' + totalper30 + ' kwh per 30 days');
};

elements.forEach(elem => elem.addEventListener('change', getTotals));

<input type="range" min="1" max="1000" id="child1">

  • -1, the answer is misleading. As @CertainPerformance has pointed out "if the value is empty, it will default to the empty string, which is perfectly concatenatable". I. e., console.log(42 + ''); returns 42. This snippet will also work after removing the unary operator and the || 0.

    @David that is a not good comment. I will never recommend to anybody that uses a string in a matematic operation.. Because if there is a number what will happen?: console.log(42 + '0'); return 420

    @YosvelQuintero - That's completely correct. I didn't say that your answer is wrong. I said that is misleading because clearly that's not the OP problem. At least, not the only one.
