@Iwan de Jong. It will not work with + or - . I still suggest to use the Number function to convert the prompt string to a number before calcuating with it. var x = Number(prompt("Enter a number:"));

var y = 5 do var x = prompt("Enter a number:"); while (isNaN(x)); alert("The multiply is: " + x * y); alert ("The sum is: " + Number(x) + y);
