Declare total outside of the loop, and then keep adding num[i] to total Take care, Sina -----Original Message----- From: programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Lamar Upshaw Sent: Friday, October 26, 2007 12:21 PM To: programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: javascript - adding the values in an array Ok, here's an easy one for someone, although difficult for me! lol *smile* I have an array in javascript: num = New array(0,1,2,3,4); I want to have a variable that has the added total of the values in the num array: total = 10; How do I get javascript to add the values in the array and put them in to a variable? I've tried both the while and for loops, but it seems the value of a variable in the loop, only applies while in the loop.
