ParseFloat issue

[blak422]

so I have and array assetCost = "350000.00","500000.00" so in a for loop Im trying to do this:

result += parseFloat(assetCost[rowIndex-1],10).toFixed(2);

but the problem is that instead of adding is concatenating.

thanks for your help.

The only way I can see that happening is if the result variable were a string.

As Jeff said, that happens because your values are primitives of type String, not Number. And that is due to the fact that the method toFixed() transforms again a Number into a String.

Anyway, toFixed() is used mainly to display the final result, so that you may apply it after you finish the calculation.

result=0;
result+= Number(assetCost[rowIndex-1]);
result=result.toFixed(2);
