alert basics

combining strings and numbers

[ctoz]

In
var a = firstchoice()
var b = secondchoice()
var c = third choice()
the three functions each return a number.

In the following, a renders as the number output, OK:
alert('first choice ' + a )

But I'm stumped in extending the alert to include 'second choice ' + b , and 'third choice ' + c.

No matter what kind of separators are used (so far), single quotes, brackets, semicols, the variables a b and c turn into literals; and every character inside the outermost enclosing quotes is also rendered.

The three choices are also separated by \n\n but that doesn't seem to be the problem. Missing something here...

Am I missing something?

alert('first choice ' + a + ' second choice ' + b + ' third choice ' + c );

er... no, daveVK, you're not.
