That makes sense.
What I'd like to hear about his next example was because he talks a little bit about typed and untyped programming languages.
But he says, you know, here's here's a simpler version.
Two plus two equals four is true.
And so you can put all that in parentheses here.
and uh if you want to run it the reason i was i was uh distracted a moment ago was i just opened up the console in the browser here um and you can just write javascript directly and the only what i had to do was just monkey with a smidge because he's just using equals instead of equals equals which is the syntax that one equals is assignment two is checking for equality um
And you can actually just cut and paste this, adding those extra equal signs and it comes back true.
So, yes.
All right.
Valid.
Right.
What's fun about that is then he what he tries to get at is like the quotation is not the referent.
If you want to make sure that like we're not confusing what we're talking about, we can put quotations around the things that we're talking about.
Right.
The fun thing that it was just a nerd thing that jumped out at me is that if you put quotes around two, two and four and true, it doesn't come back true because you're comparing strings at that point, not numbers.
Right.
Yeah.
And so as a matter of, you know, computer science and of thinking, it comes back false.
I thought that was just kind of a fun little thing.
But that is really cool.
