JavaScript is Crazy 🤯 - Part 1

Hello Folks 👋

What's up friends, this is SnowBit here. I am a young self-taught and passionate developer and have an intention to become a successful developer.

Today, I am here with a little crazy thing.

So, let's get started.

console.log("5" + 5)
// Output: 55

Here, the output will be 55 as the string is added with a number and that will join the string with the number.

console.log("Hello " + "World")

When adding:

• Two strings
• A string and a number

will join with the string.

When the + operator is used with the string is called concatenation operator

Now here comes something crazy

console.log("5" - 5)

Logic of concatenation operator doesn't apply in the case of - operator. Let me explain.

Concatenation operator can join string and add numbers, but - operator can only substract. Therefore, here "5" will get converted to integer and the output will be 0 as 5 - 5 is zero.

Let's go with some other examples,

console.log("8" - 4)
// Output: 4
console.log("10" - 100)
// Output: -90

Thank you for reading, have a nice day!
Your appreciation is my motivation 😊
