ParseInt(prompt("enter six numbers")); returning multiple integers

Roland O'Donnell

This seems to work on my end:

var x = parseInt(prompt("Enter Six Numbers"),0);

console.log(typeof x);  // check the type of x to see if its number

console.log(x+x);  // check if you can use the number returned

Hi Roland,

You can prompt the user to enter each number separated by a space.

The input would look something like this "1 2 3 4 5 6"

Then you could call the split method on that, splitting around the spaces, and get an array of strings. ["1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6"]

Then you could call the map method on this array to create a new array with all the strings converted to integers.

Here's the code:

var input = prompt("Enter 6 numbers each separated by a space");
var integers = input.split(" ").map(Number);
console.log(integers); // Ex. output [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]

The map method accepts a callback. In this case, the Number() object is used as the callback. It takes each string and passes it to the Number() object which converts the string to an integer and saves that into a new array.

Let me know if you have any questions about this or if I misunderstood what you were trying to accomplish.
