converting JS variable to string & display it in html

Question

Im newbie in JS so please bear with me.

I have a JS variable that i got from web service (JSON type). I tried to alert this variable and its working, returning 1 (integer) :

alert(result[0].totalMall);

I want to add a string to this variable so it will become like (for example) : 1 mall(s)

This is my code :

var result = result[0].totalMall.toString() + "Mall(s)";
                        alert(result);
                        $('.totalMall', this).html(result);

But the alert above always returning undefined. What should i do? I have been working for hours to just fix this.

And the result always displaying just "mall(s)" without the integer (result[0].totalMall.toString()) with it.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks :D

It may be having problems with the fact that you have two things named result. Try var res = result[0].totalMall.toString() + "Mall(s)";, and see if that's any better. (Then alert(res) etc, of course.) — Scott Mermelstein

Your code doesn't match your described results, and in fact it works here: jsfiddle.net/cr5ud. Can you post a fiddle that reproduces the issue? I think you may be having an issue with the fact that you are overwriting your result variable (though it doesn't affect the code you've posted). — Jason P

try without .toString() sum of integer and string always returns string :) — Gintas K

try following code:

var results = [
  {
    totalMall :3
  },
  {
    totalMall :5
  }
];

var result = results[0].totalMall.toString() + " Mall(s)";
alert(result);
$("#div").html(result);
