JS devs are like yep, that's clearly concatenation of 2 strings.

I mean not really cause base one would just be 111 + 111 = 111111. On the other hand if its baseless it still doesnt work cause then its 3 + 6 = 9? But with that it could just be base 10. One thing that could work is that its actually a split base 4 and 8 system where the first 3 digits of a number are base 4 and the rest are base 8 but this is a very confusing system and the opposite of what is usual. It could also be a system where 1, 2, 3 are used for whole parts of numbers and 4, 5, 6 were added when they inveneted fractions so they represent the fractional part of numbers? Thats what im gonna put my money on tho im probably ignoring something obvious.

Popmath youtubers: "123+456=123456 😱" actual explanation depends on an obscure redefinition of numbers, + and =.

This is slop, look at the "108" in the middle. I hope you found it somewhere and didn't realize it was AI-generated.

In base 1 there would just be 579 ones in a row. Someone doesn't understand base 1.

Being in "this is obviously wrong" category, I have no choice but to downvote this.

Oh, strings have no limiters, and + is the string concatenation operand?

It's just a sum of the sets 123 and 456 where 123 +456 = 123×456

This holds when + is a group operation (concatenation) acting on the set of all possible finite strings.

I feel like this well represents one of my first coding mistakes in VB, right before I started way overusing conversion calls

Before anyone calculates this: it's not possible in base 10 or any base because 3+6 ≠ 6

Mathing made easy.
