Let's say I have some numbers that I want to multiply and add.

var a = 5;

var b = 10;

var c = 2;

var d = 3;

I want to sum b and c then multiply that by a, then add d. Easy right?

If if were a normal equation the formula would look like: (a * (b + c) + d)

But how do I do that in JQuery?

(Note: the reason for JQuery is that I'll be getting these numbers from fields and divs... and placing a total elsewhere, etc.)

By default script language does not know type as int or float. So you can fix that by multiplying 1 to the value you expect to be a number.

var a = 5;

var b = 10;

var c = 2;

var d = 3; 



var total = a*1 * (b*1 + c*1) + d*1;
