This makes no sense lololol
#Why is it that in JavaScript 2 + 2 = 22;, but 2 - 2 = 0;?

string concatenation, if the two values are a string
stoic silo
Wait, so in JavaScript, integers are strings?
woven tundra
if not strictly typed they can be
"2" + 2 = 22 for instance
but 2 + 2 = 4
only for addition though, as the plus char is used for string concatenation, a minus not
woven tundra
yeah use typescript instead

I don't like Microsoft lol

stoic silo
Don't worry, I am very young, and I have enough time to learn pointers in C++
Though, I am currently learning regular C
I will have a blast when learning C++
woven tundra
regular C is just pure pain 
C++ is much better there, but still shit
stoic silo
regular C is just pure pain :CattoCry:
I like it
woven tundra
oh damn, never heard anyone say that. Even at my university people used to hate C
stoic silo
I haven't learned all of it yet, I can currently make very basic calculators, but I really like C
I am not a boomer or anything (actually the opposite), but so far I like the programming language
woven tundra
its good to have C as a skill though, theres that

yeah use typescript instead

Why is 2 + 2 = 22 in JavaScript? - @stoic silo
Why is 2 + 2 = 22 in JavaScript?
2 + 2 = 22 in JavaScript is a result of a type coercion. JavaScript is a loosely typed language, which means that it will automatically convert different data types when necessary in order to complete an operation. In this case, when adding the number 2 and the number 2 together, JavaScript will convert the numbers to strings and concatenate them, resulting in the string "22".
