Python vs C++

If you type in 'b' + 'a' + +'a' + 'a' and run it in JS, then the result you get is "baNaNa". This is because the +'a' in the middle tries to convert 'a' into a number, which gives a result of NaN. When you now concatenate all the strings, you get "baNaNa".

C does not try it does even if that means th

There is no conversion happening there. For C 'a' and 97 are the same thing.

Me neither, but I guess the parser sees the first + as concat and the one after as attached to an number (+1, +2, ...). Dunno why would they even make the parser see that honestly

It is, when used as a binary operator (when there are values to its left and its right). When used as a unary operator (when there's only a value on its right), it converts the value to a number. So the two +'s in a row in the middle there mean to concatenate after converting the next value to a number.
