Hello everyone.

I am currently doing a project on the Odin Project and I need to get the value (numeric) of the prompt box which pop-ups with a button click.

I searched a bit how to this online and I think that I can use the value property for getting the value and I also found out that the return value of the prompt is always string and I need to use parseInt property for converting string to number.

So, I came up with the code below, but I didn't get the prompt box after I click the button

=>

const
 btn = document.querySelector("button");

    btn.addEventListener("click", () 
=>
 {

        
const
 input = parseInt.prompt("Enter the number of squares of the new grid").value;

      
    })

and then I tried this and this time I get the prompt box

=>

const
 btn = document.querySelector("button");

    btn.addEventListener("click", () 
=>
 {

        
const
 input = prompt("Enter the number of squares of the new grid");

        
const
 newinput = parseInt.input.value;

    })

but I am not really sure whether I really get the value ( I mean store it in the variable).

Can you give me feedback about this?

I need this prompt value as I will use it change the div numbers in the page based on the entered number.

Hi there,

I started to teach my self JS via the book " Eloquent JavaScript"

I encounter the use of prompt function in the book, which I understand is suppose to take an input from the user (similar to 'scanf' in C (?))

I'm using Visual Studio Code. When I try to run this code:

let theNumber = Number(prompt("Pick a number"));
if (!Number.isNaN(theNumber)) {
console.log("Your number is the square root of " +
theNumber * theNumber);
}

I'm getting an error message: "ReferenceError: prompt is not defined"

How can I use to "prompt" function in JS ?

Thanks for helping!
