Addition Is Not Working In JavaScript
Answer :
One or both of the variables is a string instead of a number. This makes the + do string concatenation.
'2' + 2 === '22';  // true  2 + 2 === 4;  // true The other arithmetic operators / * - will perform a toNumber conversion on the string(s).
'3' * '5' === 15;  // true A quick way to convert a string to a number is to use the unary + operator.
+'2' + 2 === 4;  // true ...or with your variables:
+x + +y + has two uses.  One is addition, the other however is string concatenation.  If one or both of your variables is a string, then + will concatenate them.
You will need to use parseInt or parseFloat to turn a string into a number.
In Javascript the + operator can either perform addition or concatenation depending on the type of its operands. When numbers are used with + it uses addition, but when strings are used with + it concatenates (joins the strings) instead
