Someone Explain This To Me Like Im Five
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.

JavaScript's Type Conversion: A Horror Story

JavaScript's Type Conversion: A Horror Story
JavaScript's type conversion is like that friend who's confident but wrong about everything. Empty string? That's clearly 0! "07foo"? Obviously 7! And my personal favorite: a tiny decimal like 0.0000005 somehow becomes 5, because who needs those pesky zeros anyway? The best part is how parseInt() and Number() can't even agree with each other. One sees scientific notation, the other just sees numbers to ignore. It's like watching two drunk mathematicians argue about how to split the bill. This is why JavaScript developers drink.

The eternal struggle between doing things right and doing things that work. Instead of using parseInt() or Number() like a civilized developer, this mad genius is just removing the quotation marks with replaceAll() to convert a string to a number. It's the coding equivalent of using a hammer to screw in a lightbulb - horrifying yet somehow it works. The face on the left is every senior dev witnessing this crime against programming humanity, while the face on the right is the junior who's just proud they "solved" the problem without reading the docs.
