title: Numeric inputs
---

In the DOM, everything is a string. That's unhelpful when you're dealing with numeric inputs — `type="number"` and `type="range"` — as it means you have to remember to coerce `input.value` before using it.

With `bind:value`, Svelte takes care of it for you:

```svelte
<input type="number" bind:value={a} min="0" max="10" />
<input type="range" bind:value={a} min="0" max="10" />
```
