Add an integer to variable value

Question

I want to add 52 to the value of a variable I have.

So in principle:

Var chicken = eggs+52

Eggs being 100, so chicken then becomes 152...

Current method is not working. Any ideas?

Use .parseInt() in Javascript

var chicken = parseInt(eggs, 10) + 52;

Var V as Upper Case is a typo.

This might not be the issue, the first problem is the syntax error Var.

You have a syntax error. Var should be var because JavaScript is case sensitive.

Also you might need to cast eggs as a number, if it is currently a string:

var chicken = +eggs + 52; // the +eggs casts as a number

Remember to check the developer console (F12) when debugging, because usually there is an error pointing to the problem.

I doubt that eggs is not a type of Number.

You can parse it like,

var chicken = parseInt(eggs,10)+52;
