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.
Agreed, functions in general should do this, and some do. But it should probably be automatic. And the variable argument is a good one, a very good argument for TypeScript. ❤️
Another classic javascript wat
Classic people who don’t know how to code wat. Passing a number in place of a string argument because they don’t know what they’re doing.
Javascript could throw an error to alert you that the input is supposed to be a string, like most languages would do.
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.

Maybe the design is bad, then.
Lol you’ll get no argument from me. It’s not my favorite language.
Function only handles string arguments correctly. Wat.
Could be a variable from somewhere else in the code. It should throw type error of some sort if it’s not going to handle a float correctly
