Perfect explanation! Thanks!
Shouldn’t the console.log response from line 1 and line 2 be in different colors, as one is a string, and one is a number?
the first rule of every programmer is to read the syntax.
The syntax for strings in JS says you must use the quotation marks when the data type is strings. This helps Javascript to differentiate between strings and other data types, eg Num.
let x = 5 + 5; //outputs 10
let y = “5 + 5”; //outputs 5+5
this way, you can have the option to print out the second variable (y=5+5) if you want individual numbers to be printed and you don’t want to sum it unlike the first variable.
Is just a way for javascript to interprets what type of data you want
What’s wrong with this picture?
There are 8 data types listed, and it’s unclear as to whether Symbol is a fundamental datatype consequently.
