Someone Explain This To Me Like Im Five

javascript-memes, parseint-memes, bugs-memes, floating-point-memes, scientific-notation-memes | ProgrammerHumor.io

JavaScript's parseInt function just decided that 0.0000005 equals 5 because scientific notation turned it into "5e-7" and parseInt grabbed just the "5" like a toddler picking only the M&Ms out of trail mix. Six decimal places? Nah, too much work. Five? Still zero. Seven? BOOM, suddenly 5. It's like JavaScript was programmed by someone rolling dice to determine behavior. No wonder developers drink.

This Is Javascript

Someone enthusiastically introduces their favorite language, and JavaScript immediately demonstrates why it's both loved and mocked in equal measure. The plus operator does string concatenation ("11" + 1 = "111"), while the minus operator coerces to numbers ("11" - 1 = 10). Totally logical and not confusing at all. JavaScript's type coercion is like that friend who tries to be helpful but just makes everything worse. The language sees a plus sign and thinks "maybe they want strings?" but sees a minus sign and goes "definitely numbers here." It's the programming equivalent of a chaotic neutral alignment.
