Mathematical addition of two arguments

Definition

number add(number $left, number $right)

Returns $left + $right.

Parameters

number $left

The left argument of addition.

number $right

The right argument of addition.

Returns

number

A number equal to the value of the sum of the two parameters.

Examples

{
  sum: add(`3`,`2`),
  sum2: add(`3`,`-2`),
  boolSum: add(`true`,`false`),
  boolSum2: add(`true`,`10`),
  numStringSum: add('3.1', '2.9'),
  nullSum: add(`null`,`null`),     // Error
  textSum: add('a', 'b'),           // Error
  arraySum: add(`[]`,`[]`),        // Error
  objectSum: add(`{}`,`{}`)        // Error
}

  "boolSum": 1,

}

Remarks

boolean arguments are valid as well and implicitly converted to their integer values. Same holds for string arguments that follow a number format. However, it is recommended to call the function with number parameters.
