check what is its value, it is an important thing to know how to debug what do you think is the value of `idade`? ---

Oh I got but another example was this: var n1 = Number(idade.value) But I decided to put .value at the end of line… I guess I have to understand more of what is Value. I don’t know why its just ignoring another condition… even Im putting those options ---

the terminal is a debugging tool are you sure that the value of `idade` is the one you think? you expect `idade` to be a number. But is it? How do you know if you don’t print the value of `idade` to the console with `console.log(idade)`? ---

The problem its no show the idade, its actually to give a answer depends of what do you put into the input… Because if I only put console.log(idade) I know what its going to show me of course. I mean… the function only recognize the first last condition the ELSE. i dont know why… I try the debug… its saying No debug adapter, can not send ‘evaluate’ `

Even if I reduce the condition… like this \>\> ```auto function clicar() { var idade = document.querySelector('input#nmd').value var n1 = Number(idade.length) var res = document.getElementById('res') if (n1 > 18) { res.innerHTML = ('VOTO OBRIGATORIO') } else { res.innerHTML += ('VV') } } ``` THE ONLY ONE WORKING IS THE LAST – \>\> ELSE \<\<\< ---

> [@caiowebers](#): > > var n1 = Number(idade.length) do you want the value of `idade` or its length? if you do like this `n1` will just be 1 or 2 I really suggest you use console.log to print to the console the values of all your variables and check if they are what you want them to be ---

If you are expecting a number you should set the type attribute to number, not text. It made it unclear what you were trying to do (I thought you were looking at the number of characters, not just the value). ---
