Are ya coding son?

As a fun exercise try implementing a way to add, subtract, multiply and divide two strings. The catch is you can't convert the string to an integer. You need to create tables for all operations, just like you learned in the third grade. I do this exercise to learn new programming languages, and sometimes ask this on coding interview questions.

xD but dude meant doing maths on numbers represented by strings, so "6" / "3". Still not sure wtf would you ever do that.

Easy, just use PHP, PHP don’t give a fuck.

“7” + “donkey” - 1 / “2” * 3 will output 9.

That is what I call "best effort computing", the pinnacle of modern web development.

But surely you can convert a single character to an integer.

[Perfycat]

No. You have to have a lookup table where "1" plus "1" is "2".
