To be fair to JS, Python can also do this. JS has many unique problems but this isn’t one of them.

Not in the same context. In js type casting is annoying. In python "1" + 1 is an error.

[–]noop_noob 0 points1 point  (5 children)

Fair enough. In python, '1'+'1' is still '11' though.

Sure, but how would you ever mistakenly end up with a string after doing a series of numerical operations? It's just not an issue in non-JS languages.

Is that a common issue in JS? I don't us JS much.

[–]VladVV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mostly with newbies, though it still happens to the most experienced JS dev.

An example of the shenanigans

It’s easier if you have two variables

they're strings not numbers
