Division Operator Sublime Text

Question

I am a javascript student, just started. I use Sublime Text 3 and I can't figure out why the division operator (/) is not working for me, when I try the same code in jsfiddle it works perfectly. It is a very very vey simple task.

something as dumb as below:

<script>
var a;
var b;
var c;
a=parseInt(prompt("Enter first number"));
b=parseInt(prompt("Enter second number"));
c=parseInt(prompt("Enter third number"));
var total=(a+b+c);
var avg=total/3;
alert(a +", "+ b +", "+ c + " | Average = "+avg);
</script>

Why is the division in this line var avg=total/3; not being recognised?? Is there a different way to divide?

Thank you in advance and happy new year!

Answer 1

First, try checking the value and typeof the variable total to ensure it is an integer.

You should also add a radix to your parseInt functions, as this may be causing a, b, or c to be nAn see mdn for example

I would also recommend installing a static analysis tool for sublime, something like Sublime-JSHint You will find it extremely useful for catching syntax errors.

Answer 2

Why do you say it is not running? If it works in your fiddle, which you say it does, it runs just fine. Sublime Text 3 is NOT a Javascript runtime environment.

You need to add more details as to what you mean when you say "not working".
