in reply to Template toolkit Adding Values to Variable

I am not sure if what you wrote would actually work or not, To my knowledge ... Template Toolkit foreach loops should be written as  [% FOREACH x IN  shopping %] Then you can use x.key to do what you want.

As I know Template Toolkit doesn't accept +=

    Code runs fine. it depend on the variable coming from the script. It is hash which i am using, if it is array then your given method is applied.

    thanks

      Where did you get this idea from?

      it works with a hash just like it works with arrays

      Anyway I have tried it and it works fine for me.

          [% totalprice = 900 %]
    [% FOREACH x IN shopping %]
        [% modelname = x.key %][% information = x.value %]    
        [% MAKE_NAME = information.MAKE %]
    
    Quantity: [% information.QTY %] x [% information.PRICE %]<br/>

    [% ff = information.PRICE * information.QTY %]
        PRICE = [% ff %]<br/>
    [% totalprice = totalprice + ff %] 
    [% totalprice %]#print out 1000
    <hr/>
    [% END %]
    [% totalprice %]<----- 3 -------->

      It prints out 1000 as the final number not 900
