in reply to Re^4: numbers in parentheses not considered numeric values??
in thread numbers in parentheses not considered numeric values??

The following adds the values produced by 4 and (5):

4+(5)

You're saying the following should do the same:

4+"(5)"

If so, where do you draw the line? Should the following attempt to wipe your system?

4+"system('rm -rf /')"
