How to sum number with Number in TypeScript

It might seem as a trivial question, but I was not able to get any relevant results since google search is case insensitive.

Let's say I have following code:

items[5] = "5\,5"
totalAmount: number = 5
totalAmount = totalAmount + Number(items[5].replace( "\\,", "."));

and my IDE tells me that I cannot appy operands to type number and Number. When I serached for a method to turn string into a number, I was only met with the above solution, which is useless for me. How can I make a number typed variable from a string?

Don't see any issue with your code and it work fine for me in Visual Studio Code but try following code and see if it works for you:

totalAmount: number = 5
totalAmount = totalAmount + parseFloat(items[5].replace( "\\,", "."));
