Hi @itzvinie, is this a question about the sign in component?

Ok, got it.
So just a couple of things for future reference - if you’re asking a new question, that’s not related to the original topic, then please create a new topic for it.
Also, mentioning individual users in your first post is considered bad etiquette in the community. This is a community not chat support. It should be open to anyone to reply and help out rather than singling out individual members.

FInally, it seems like you have a _very_ [similar post already](http://community.thunkable.com/t/firebase-label-showing-null/76475) - please use existing topics rather than posting elsewhere about the same issue.
Thanks!

Null in math functions converts to 0.
x \<- absolute \<- null

Your code does not work for the reason that Local Storage returns a value that is not null. But what does it return? The string is “null”.

There’s also a [null](https://docs.thunkable.com/logic#value-blocks) block that you could use instead of the “nul” string @actech?

@domhnallohanlon, the `value` parameter from the Local Storage Get block has a string type, and not a special null value, as many users think.

The NaN value appears when the result of the mathematical operation is not a number, for example, you are trying to add a string to a string.

I agree @actech because got the error, what im trying to to is add a text to a value that may contain quotation marks (" ") like the value looks like “23”, and easy blocks to solve this, this is the only thing i need and finish my projects

Hi @DevilLooper,
[This app](https://x.thunkable.com/projectPage/5def7eb7177458c9bec2e1f4) might be helpful to you. It will take some text input and remove all characters that are not digits from 0-9, returning an integer.
For example, ‘thunkable1’ will be converted to ‘1’, ‘1thunkable2’ will be converted to ‘12’.
To prove that this resulting integer can be parsed by the math blocks, the app will display 1) the number once other characters have been cleared and 2) the result of adding 1 to this number using math blocks.
If you want to facilitate decimal numbers, you can add a period character ‘.’ to the **listOfDigits** in the app. [This tutorial](http://community.thunkable.com/t/formatting-numbers-with-commas/68913) has advice on making sure that there is only one decimal point in your number (a number like 1.2.3 also cannot be parsed by the math blocks).
Jane
