alert(5/8+"hi") & console. log(25*87) evaluate the sum and sends to the console/prompt. Why use alert(eval(5/8+"hi))?

Question

Does Alert() have eval() built in?

Answer 1

Not really.
With eval, "5*5" and 5*5 will both be 25
With alert, only 5*5 will be 25, and "5*5", well, stays "5*5"

Eval's point is that it will execute strings, so
eval("alert('x')") will execute, and x will be alerted

Answer 2

Am I missing the point of eval then? lol typical

eval is for strings like inputs then. Got it. Thanks for the clarification Aimee.

Answer 5

Yes, so if you want to, I don't know, make a graph displayer (winkyface) (winkyface), that is extremely useful, so you can get the function very easily, so you can get an input like "18 * x ** 2 + 9 * x + 5 * sin(x)", you can easily use eval
