[SOLVED]How to add numbers inside a text element

[jr_jags]

Im trying to add numbers previewed in a text element
@Text {
id: sum1
x: 137
y: 389
width: 80
height: 20
color: "#eadfdf"
text: "1"
font.pixelSize: 12
}

Text {
id: sum2
x: 137
y: 389
width: 80
height: 20
color: "#eadfdf"
text: "1"
font.pixelSize: 12
}

Text {
id: answer
x: 137
y: 389
width: 80
height: 20
color: "#eadfdf"
text: sum1.text + sum2.text
font.pixelSize: 12
}@

It gave me a wrong answer,
How can i use text elements to hold my numbers and add them alltogether?

Hack. :P

text: sum1.text1 + sum2.text1

ahh sir, can you please explain to me, what does the * sign stands for?

[Diph]

It's just multiplication which forces type conversion to number. :)

[jr_jags]

oh so i can use that if the number is declared, what if the number is from an API storage that had its own value?

Did some research... You can also use Javascript's parseInt method:

@text: parseInt(sum1.text) + parseInt(sum2.text)@

@//if i change the value of sum2 to a number from a API sotrage
Text {
id: sum2
x: 137
y: 389
width: 80
height: 20
color: "#eadfdf"
text: Storage.getSettingScore("settingScore","valueScore")
font.pixelSize: 12
} @
