https://code.sololearn.com/WYW4JmURKZY7/?ref=app just see this we need document.getElementsByClasname("")[0].value since it might return the array so instead if u use document.getElementById("") u would get correct result.

Issues: 1. Your js is executing before your DOM is rendered. Hence, no element is found. 2. Always use getElementById() to get/set values, because of unique target, and for CSS manipulation use getElementsByClass() because you may need to edit multiple classes simultaneously. 3. Always consider undefined cases. function find(){ var a=document.getElementById("ac").value; var iv=document.getElementById("u").value; var ti=document.getElementById("t").value; a= a?a:0; iv= iv?iv:0; ti= ti?ti:0; var velocity= iv+a*ti; console.log(velocity); }

Ohh, I forgot to mention, add corresponding id's in html as classes. For example: change class= "ac" to id="ac" similarly, for ti and u
