Public i As String = "1"
Public j As String[] = ["-1", "2", "3"]


Public Sub tester(count As Integer) 
  Print count
End

Public Sub Main()
  
  tester(j[0])         'this does the conversion auto
  
  Print j[1] + j[2]    'this does the conversion auto
  
  Print -j[0]          'this does not run as its invalid
  'but not detected till runtime, but worste it causes the jit to fail
