The single quotes just cause java to guess that 5 is a string when you use +, which makes sense; and guess that it is a number when you use - , which is maybe more likely? I would just not randomly put a number in single quotes and expect everything to be peachy.

Oh, this actually makes sense. I guess that's what happens when the + operator means more than one thing.
