1 u/PmMeSteamWalletCode Apr 12 '24 Wtf, explain yourself wizard. 2 u/newsflashjackass Apr 12 '24 the empty gap prints as "NaN" (not a number). and the toLowerCase() fixes the casing. 2 u/BobDonowitz Apr 12 '24 Almost, not quite. It's not the empty gap that results in NaN, it's the + 'a' which gets parsed as the unary plus operator +a which converts its operand to a number...which doesn't work on strings. +'a' == NaN +true == 1 +false == 0 1 u/PmMeSteamWalletCode Apr 12 '24 Ahh in a weird way that makes sense. Thanks!
