Expressions help

[mwh]

Hi.

I am using Javascript to make a kind of calculator. I am trying to do
addition, but when I use it, it just displays the numbers together, not
added together. Example:
function additionCalculator(num1, num2){
var total = num1 + num2
return total
}

I try to add the numbers, but it just puts them together.

Also, I am trying to use subtraction and division, but I do not know
how.

Can anybody help?

Amazing what you can find if you type in Javascript adding numbers into
Google...
