JS math project - sharing my code

so I am feeling good about this,... however I also feel there could be some other ways to make the code smaller and still function well, what do you think. .. .

also i was trying that three backticks thing to show code as it should be .. . 

alert("Hi, Let's do some math!");

const yourFirstNumber = prompt("Give me a number please.");
const yourSecondNumber = prompt("Give me a second number please.");


const additionTotal = parseInt(yourFirstNumber) + parseInt(yourSecondNumber);
const multiplicationTotal = parseInt(yourFirstNumber) * parseInt(yourSecondNumber);
const divisionTotal = parseInt(yourFirstNumber) / parseInt(yourSecondNumber);
const minusTotal = parseInt(yourFirstNumber) - parseInt(yourSecondNumber);

const main = document.querySelector('main');

main.innerHTML = `<h1>You have chosen numbers ${yourFirstNumber} and ${yourSecondNumber}.</h1>
<h2> Addition: ${yourFirstNumber} + ${yourSecondNumber} = ${additionTotal}</h2>
<h2>Multiplication: ${yourFirstNumber} * ${yourSecondNumber} = ${multiplicationTotal}</h2>
<h2>Division: ${yourFirstNumber} / ${yourSecondNumber} = ${divisionTotal}</h2>
<h2>Minus: ${yourFirstNumber} - ${yourSecondNumber} = ${minusTotal}</h2>`;

There's rarely only one way to program a solution. The fact that you're seeing alternatives for more compact and/or efficient solutions is evidence of your learning progress. :+1:

thanks, that's very encouraging especially after a long spade of feeling like you don't get it .. . and when you do, you still don't believe you do ... lol
