I need to sum all my numbers from a for loop with javascript

var nums = ['100','300','400','60','40'];

for(var i=1; i < nums.length; i++){

        var num = nums[i] + nums[i];

        alert(num);
}​

can someone help http://jsfiddle.net/GYpd2/1/

the outcome i am looking for is 900

Answer 1

var nums = ['100','300','400','60','40'];
var sum = 0;

for(var i=0; i < nums.length; i++){

    sum += parseInt(nums[i]);

}

alert(sum);

If nums contains numbers only there is no need for parseInt().
