Another classic javascript wat
Classic people who don't know how to code wat. Passing a number in place of a string argument because they don't know what they're doing.
Javascript could throw an error to alert you that the input is supposed to be a string, like most languages would do.
Theoretically, Javascript is an untyped language, so there aren't supposed to really be static types. Giving type errors in this situation would be against design.
Maybe the design is bad, then.
Lol you'll get no argument from me. It's not my favorite language.
JavaScript has types and it does have type errors, for instance
Please stop spouting nonsense on issues you know nothing about.
Dynamic types aren't static types my man. I think you got some learning to do.
You did say untyped though.
Lol like facilitate versus effectuate
Function only handles string arguments correctly. Wat.
