JavaScript Is Broken!

🚨 JavaScript is broken! It can be full of surprises, even for seasoned developers! 😅 Whether it’s strange type conversions, automatic semicolon insertion, or the infamous floating-point math issue, these quirks can turn debugging into a real headache. But don’t worry, I’ve got you covered!

I just published an article on Medium breaking down some of the most common JavaScript pitfalls and how you can avoid them to write cleaner, more reliable code. 💻✨Read the full article here: https://codexstoney.medium.com/javascript-is-broken-8841df6f6fc8?sk=12a9f6601c827148be64c736a3032a91 🔗

In the article, you'll learn: 1️⃣ Why you should always specify the radix with parseInt() 2️⃣ How automatic semicolon insertion can give unexpected results 🛑 3️⃣ Why 0.1 + 0.2 !== 0.3 (and how to handle it!) 4️⃣ And more!
