hi Amrit!

   First of all, this code SHOULD work if it was used correctly.
The VAL() is a function and it returns a numeric value. It takes a string
which holds a number and converts it (actually the left-most numbers) into
a numeric value. If the string does not start with a number, it returns
the value 0.
   Hope this helps!
