2,177 PointsWhen I type in relevant numbers I get "At least one of the values you typed is not a number. Reload and try again."
// declare program variables var num1; var num2; var message;
// announce the program alert("Let's do some math!");
// collect numeric input num1 = prompt("Please type a number"); num1 = parseFloat(num1); num2 = prompt("Please type another number"); num2 = parseFloat(num2);
if (num2 === 0) { alert("The second number is 0. You can't divide by zero. Reload and try again."); } else if ( isNaN(num1) || isNaN(num2) ) { alert("At least one of the values you typed is not a number. Reload and try again."); } else { // build an HTML message message = "<h1>Math with the numbers " + num1 + " and " + num2 + "</h1>"; message += num1 + " + " + num2 + " = " + (num1 + num2); message += "<br>"; message += num1 + " * " + num2 + " = " + (num1 * num2); message += "<br>"; message += num1 + " / " + num2 + " = " + (num1 / num2); message += "<br>"; message += num1 + " - " + num2 + " = " + (num1 - num2);
// write message to web page document.write(message); }

2,177 PointsSo after testing it without the "else if" clause leading to the above alert, then reinserting and saving, it seemed to run just fine.
Do I have to save the file before I run? If I don't save does that mean it will run based on the previous saved version?
Thanks
