I’m not that inexperienced in javascript, but this is just confusing me. I’m trying to make an economy system for my discord bot, and I’m using mongodb for it. Right now, I’m making a deposit command, and what I’m doing is simply subtracting the amount given in the command, from the user’s wallet, and adding it to the user’s bank account. Code:

            const balanceProfile = await client.createBalance(message.member);
            const amount = args[0];
            if(isNaN(args[0])) return message.reply(`Specify an amount to deposit.`);
            if(amount > balanceProfile.wallet) return message.reply(`Too much money to deposit.`);
            
            try {
                await Balance.findOneAndUpdate({
                    _id: balanceProfile.id, 
                    wallet: balanceProfile.wallet - amount, 
                    bank: balanceProfile.bank + amount
                });
            } catch (error) {
                console.log(error);
            }
            message.reply(`Successfully deposited ${amount} moneyz to da bank!`)
        }
    }

Mongo Schema:

const mongoose = require('mongoose');
const balanceSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
    _id: mongoose.Schema.Types.ObjectId,
    memberId: String,
    wallet: { type: Number, default: 0 },
    bank: { type: Number, default: 0 },
    daily: { type: Number }
});

module.exports = mongoose.model('Balance', balanceSchema, 'balances');

The wallet works fine, it subtracts the amount from the wallet perfectly. However, my problem is that instead of adding the amount to the bank, it literally adds the number to the end of the number. So if I were to deposit 5 dollars to my bank, and I already have 7 dollars in my bank, then I would get 75 dollars in my bank. (I want it to add 5 dollars to my bank, not the literal number 5 to my bank). There aren’t any errors, and I have no idea what to search up to solve this, and couldn’t find any previous questions about this. Any help would be appreciated.

Sidenote: I tried using the += statement too.

>Solution :

Even though your bank field is declared as a Number, the normal JavaScript type-coercion rules apply and are specified in ECMAScript section 13.15.3 ApplyStringOrNumericBinaryOperator.

If Type(lprim) is String or Type(rprim) is String, then

i. Let lstr be ? ToString(lprim).

ii. Let rstr be ? ToString(rprim).

iii. Return the string-concatenation of lstr and rstr.

You’re getting the value to add from here:

const amount = args[0];
if(isNaN(args[0])) return message.reply(`Specify an amount to deposit.`);

args[0] is likely a string and adding a string to a number coerces the number into a string:

const balance = 7;
const deposit = '5';

console.log('New balance is', balance + deposit);

It looks like you want to parse args[0] first:

const balance = 7;
const deposit = Number('5');

console.log('New balance is', balance + deposit);

So something like this:

const amount = Number(args[0]);
if(isNaN(amount)) return message.reply(`Specify an amount to deposit.`);
