My goal is to create a simple calculator by setting two user input boxes into variables, and using those variables to add/subtract/multiply/divide each other, saving it in a final result variable. Thunkable iOS correctly calculates two values when it is subtracted, multiplied, or divided. However t…

So what’s happening? Does it concatenate the strings? i.e if your try 1+ 2 do you get “12” instead of 3?

Hi @Teacher_Mah , I don’t have access to my iPhone at the moment, but you could try something like this? [image] My idea is that passing your number variables through some other Math blocks will imply that the compiler should treat them as numbers rather strings. Thanks for pointing this out thou…

Thanks! This is a good workaround :slight_smile:

Did you test it? Does it work??

Yes it does - the calculation works. I thought I tried the round option earlier but regardless, “round” will force the variable as a number.

Changing the input fields to ‘numeric’, and leaving the code without the rounding does not work, and continues to join the numbers as text (1 + 2 = 12). However, the original solution using “round” does work. [image]
