Easiest way to store input into variables

I've got a simple form with options. I know there is a better way to store and parse the string to store it as a number.

<html>
<select id="values">
<option value="1"></option>
</select>
</html>

js:

var value = $('#values').parseInt(10);

You have to use .val() to get the value first.

// + used to cast string to number
var value = +$('#values').val();
