Monday.length = Eternal Suffering
Ah, the classic confusion between programming logic and real-world logic! The student was asked to find the length of the string "Monday" (which is 6 characters), but instead interpreted it as the literal length of a day (24 hours). Whoever graded this deserves a special place in debugging hell for marking it wrong. I mean, technically it's 23 hours, 56 minutes and 4.1 seconds if we're being astronomically pedantic. And if it's a Monday, it feels like 72 hours minimum.

C Strings Are Not Safe
Someone searching for "c++ c style strings" with SafeSearch turned OFF. Just like C strings with no bounds checking, this search is about to overflow with exactly the kind of memory corruption you weren't expecting. Nothing says "living dangerously" like null-terminated arrays and unfiltered search results.

What Is Age Really
The classic "age is just a number" platitude gets a perfect programmer's twist. In JavaScript and many other languages, what looks like a number is often silently converted to a string when you least expect it. That smug face in the third panel is every backend dev who's spent hours debugging why 18 + 1 = 181 instead of 19 . Type coercion: ruining perfectly good calculations since 1995.

Darth JavaScript: When Math Becomes A String Theory
Ah, JavaScript's type coercion strikes again! The top panel shows the horror of seeing 1 + 1 + 1 = 111 instead of 3. The middle panel reveals the dark side of the force: adding quotation marks turns numbers into strings, causing concatenation instead of addition. This is why senior devs wake up screaming at night. In JavaScript, "1" + "1" + "1" happily gives you "111" because strings gonna string. Meanwhile, proper languages are watching from a distance, shaking their heads in disappointment. The final panel shows the acceptance phase of grief that every JS developer eventually reaches. You either die a hero or live long enough to become the villain who writes parseInt() everywhere just to be safe.
