The <output> tag is used to represent the result of a calculation (like one performed by a script).The <output> HTML element is a container element, into which a site or app can inject the results of a calculation or the outcome of a user action.

Attributes: this element includes the global attributes. The tag also supports the following additional attributes:

for; value: element_id;

specifies the relationship between the result of the calculation, and the elements used in the calculation. A space-separated list of other elements' ids, indicating that those elements contributed input values to (or otherwise affected) the calculation.

form ; value: form_id;

specifies which form the output element belongs to.

name ; value: name;

specifies a name for the output element.

coding:
                <form class="example" oninput="x.value=parseInt(a.value)+parseInt(b.value)">
                <input type="range" id="a" value="50">

+ = 60
coding:
                <form class="example" oninput="result.value=parseInt(a.value)+parseInt(b.value)">
                    <input type="range" id="b" name="b" value="50" /> +

                </form>
            


The value is 25
coding:
                <form class="example" oninput="result.value = slider.value">
                    <input type="range" id="slider" value="25"> 
                    <br/><br />
                    The value is <output name="result" for="slider">25</output>
                </form>  
            
+ +
Result:
                <form class="example" oninpvut="sumresult.value = parseInt(A.value)+ parseInt(B.value) + parseInt(C.value)">
                    <input type="number" name="A" value="50" /> +
                    <input type="range" name="B" value="0" /> +
                    <input type="number" name="C" value="30" />
                    <br>
                    Result: <output name="sumresult"></output>
                </form>
            
0 100 ++ =
                <form class="example" oninput="n.value=parseInt(p.value)+parseInt(q.value)+parseInt(r.value)">0
                    <input type="range" id="p" value="25">100

                </form>

The output is:
code:
                <form class="example" oninput = "sumresult.value = parseInt(z1.value)+parseInt(z2.value)+parseInt(z3.value)">
                    <input type = "range" name = "z1" value = "0" /> +
                    <input type = "number" name = "z2" value = "20" /> +
                    <input type = "number" name = "z3" value = "40" /><br />
                    The output is: <output name = "sumresult"></output>
                </form>
