[Gambas-user] Numeric operation between strings.

[Caveat]

Well CStr(-19776) gives -19776 so if you use the arithmetic addition
operator you're gonna get -19776 plus -19776 giving -39552.

Using the arithmetic operator in this case only works if both your
strings can be treated as floats, so this will raise an error:

PRINT CStr(-19776) + CStr("W")

If you used the ampersand (&) instead, like this:

PRINT CStr(-19776) & CStr(-19776)

you'd've gotten the expected(?) result of:

-19776-19776

and:

PRINT CStr(-19776) & CStr("W")

would not fail, but give:

-19776W
