    Javascript could throw an error to alert you that the input is supposed to be a string, like most languages would do.

      Theoretically, Javascript is an untyped language, so there aren’t supposed to really be static types. Giving type errors in this situation would be against design.

      But you’re calling a function specifically made for passing a string to an int… 😆 There’s gotta be some common sense somewhere here, guys.

      Still, it’s a very good point. JS should do this.

      I would suspect one reason it doesn’t do this is to be backwards compatible.
