Have you looked at the
MDC? Very useful resource to keep handy when working with JavaScript objects.

I didn't have any code in general I ask this.
Because the + operator is not used for adding in javascript.

I solved the problem by using eval function for adding two float numbers

The problem is that the floats were actually strings, when you try to add strings it concatenates them.
right
7.4 + 7.5 = 14.9
wrong
'7.4' + '7.5' = '7.47.5'

I'd avoid the eval by using the constructors or parseFloat methods instead.
