JavaScript expression quiz time! What is the value of this expression: ('1' + .234 > 2)

'1' + .234 = 10.234
10.234 > 2
True

! You win: a undefined

@cannonau haha

Woohoo! Reading "You Don't Know JS" books series finally paid off. :D I got it correct :)

If the answer was false you wouldn't have made the rant 🤔

@svgPhoenix well, if precedence was different it might have been "1false"

Ok, actually it was to call attention to this "10.234" thing.

@cannonau yeah this kind of bs is why I avoid JS

@svgPhoenix Avoiding language because it has weird quirks on edge cases, yeah truly legit.

@illegaldisease ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I've never had a real reason to try it

@svgPhoenix I hope you don't :P

I develop in Javascript on daily basis and i have never seen such edge cases in real-life projects or big packages.

Undefined is what we are afraid of / take advantage of. To avoid such weird stuff, we just optimize stuff better.
