Confusion JavaScript String Statement Concatenation
I was developing a node.js site and I made a copy and paste error that resulted in the following line (simplified for this question):
var x = "hi" + + "mom"
It does not fall and x = NaN. Now that I have fixed this error, I am wondering what is going on here, since if I remove the space between the + signs, I get an error (SyntaxError: invalid increment operand)
My question is, can someone explain to me what is going on in the statement and how nothing (the space between the + signs) changes this from error to NaN?
PS. I'm not sure if this should go here or programers.stackoverflow.com. Let me know if I have posted on the wrong site.
