Good morning to you. Firstly I want to appreciate all who have been assisting me here with my questions, I'm really grateful.

Now my question

Can someone please explain why if I try to run a string on my vs code the output is same as a number?

Like the example on my laptop screen

I typed
Var num1 = 10;
Var num3 = "20";

And the output is
10
20

I thought one should be
10 and the string "20"

Pls someone should explain pls

I don't know anything about what you are talking about

okay boss.

Just like the screenshot above if you check the output you will see a square bracket but in vs code nothing like that. It looks like that's how it is with vs code because I just ran a string code and I didn't see any square bracket.

Lol they are still different data types... you can confirm this by "console.log(typeof num1, typeof num3) or console.log(num1 === num 3)"

Try this

var numOne = 10;
var numTwo = 20;
var sum = numOne+numTwo;
Console.log("Sum = " + sum);

The mistake you made is that you consoled them differently so it will treat them as independent variables

Correct answer.
Basically, printing a string directly to console will strip the quotes.
If you console.log both in chrome console, both variables will have different colours
And also, if you console.log( [num1, num2]), you'll still it the way you actually expect it to be

JavaScript ignores quotes unless you want the quote to show then you'll use single quotes inside
By the way, how is your JS running in the terminal, is it node you're using ?
