Hey folks, 
I have been working on algebraic expressions recently, the correct answer is shown on my system but if I upload the same on the application there will be a NaN error. I also got to know that if I click on "Enter" button from my keypad in my Mobile and then click on calculate button , I am getting the answer (i.e, string is getting converted into number when the "Enter" button is clicked).
How Do I get the answer on my first shot when I am clicking on calculate button directly (Without "Enter" button). I will be grateful for any help.

Here is my storyline file for the reference.

Hello Tech RockED!

Thanks for sharing your file! To identify which specific action will turn the integers into a NaN value, I'd start by separating each action or step in the trigger. That should help troubleshoot from there.
