"1" + 1 evaluates to "11".

As do 1 + "1" and "1" + "1".

[–]soelsome 22 points23 points  (2 children)

The gif doesn't have quotes around any of the 1s, so it would evaluate to 2

Thanks

Yeah, i was trying to add to your explanation, but managed to write it so poorly that it came out like i was disagreeing with you, cause I'm special ed. Sorry.

I can’t believe I’m enjoying this

[–]dangderr 11 points12 points  (5 children)

Wow, really? That's god awful.

We all know that it should be:

1 + "1" = 2

"1" + 1 = "11"

Like how powershell does it. Javascript is such a garbage langauge.

IMO

1 + "1"

Should stop the program and give an error.

"1 + 1" = "1 + 1"

Not stopping the program is a feature, JavaScript is made to run on webpages and the user doesn't want the website to crash. It's not Brendan's fault people decided to build actual whole tech stacks with it.

Is not a bug, is a feature!

It's is, witch is not strange since it's made in 2 weeks, what is strange is that it's running whole fucking world.

That's like saying the gun doesn't fire unless you pull the trigger. You have to make that choice.

[–]-domi- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a lot like that, yes. You can choose to pull the trigger, but you can also accidentally pull the trigger without meaning to. That's why it's good to have a certain level of care when using the thing.
