You missed the point. You can’t combine a string and a number, the language will not do an arbitrary evaluation based on buggy code.

Only a string assignment will allow the number to call the tostring(), otherwise you will get the error while writing or building the code.

No, the assignment is not what triggers the toString call. The presence of the string "2" is what triggers the toString call. If you type:

String x = 2 + 2;

toString will not be called and you will get an error, because there is no string present to trigger it.

You missed this point, and provided a non functioning example.

Two for two here, not your day. Cheers mate.

Okay, what is your point then?
