So I'm not a java guy, but is (int 8).equals(int 8) really going to return false?

Nvm, see that they're strings now.. *facepalm *

Tell him he should be using ==. That's likely to be the root of the problem.

To be fair... HIS java is definitely broken.

A common bug. The only solution is to press the power button and then never touch the power button again.

Sorry, but is that condition valid JS?

Come to think of it, please don't answer this question. I don't need any more reason to hate weakly typed languages.

@vringar That's not JS, it's Java. 😁

Well, he had to implement a custom Eval class. Ah! I get it. It's a no brainer

@stefano *sigh* yeah, extraordinarily funny ... But would this shit work in JavaScript?
I know it doesn't work in Java but want to know if he just went full retard or full retard and unable to do his errors right.

Why it doesn't work: He gave a string as argument, "4+4" is equal to "4+4". 4+4 is equal to 8. It's a pretty uncommon mistake, because literally every code editor with syntax editor marks strings is another color than math logic.

@vringar I just checked and, as you can see, JavaScript is VERY broken. In the first assignment, the variable is a string but, if you increment it, it becomes a number. Even though the variable is now a number, it's not equal to 4. That's also why I don't use JS. 😂

@stefano to be fair, if the ++ operator turned check into a number and incremented it, shouldnt check be 5 now? Thus satisfying the else?

While that is super sketchy type casting behavior at least the math checks out 😂

@Darkler You're right ahahah I guess I shouldn't write code when I'm sick 😂

@stefano well it took me forever to figure out too because unlike js, "4" and 4 are 0% alike to us type safe devs haha

@Darkler the check variable is string because of 2+"2" so the value should be 22. So incrementing it would later would result in check variable having value 23.

And that's why there are scientific programming languages:

"Hey, you are the Java guy, aren't you? My Java is broken!"

Me: Takes a look at the code

if ("4+4".equals("5+3")) {
System.out.println("Same result!");
} else {
System.out.println("Different result!");
}

undefined
