The .html method is returning a string value. So, you're adding "14.56" and "85.00" to create "14.5685.00"
You need to convert the a and b variables to a numeric class. In this case, you want to use .to_f: total = a.to_f + b.to_f Hope that helps. orde On Feb 8, 12:45 pm, tester86 <sagar.am...@gmail.com> wrote: > Sorry but in IRB when I do > > a= $b.table(:index, 1)[2][11].html > print 14.56 > > b=$b.table(:index, 1)[2][11].html > print 85.00 > > total = a + b > > in IRB it returns 14.5685.00 > > when it should return 99.56 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Watir General" group.
