Case 2 makes the assumption that the API is configured properly to only accept expected input. From a cybersecurity perspective, even this is a bad idea. eval() should never be used in code that can be used by anyone aside from the author.

yeah, I always forget you can do it this way. it's smooth.

you are thinking of exec that does not return anything

because despite having its dangers, the solution is beautiful to see, in the context of codewars, this type of solution comes out ahead... multiple 'ifs' are sometimes not very elegant..

convert value1 and value 2 to strings first. Your code doesn't evaluate the values of value1 and value2. Say value1 = 1 and value2 = 3, your code is trying to evaluate value1 + value2 whereas it should be evaluating 1 + 3.

clever, I'm borrowing this!

liveing on the edge

thanks for saving my data dude!

yeah easy but unsafe

yes

Yeah, I never knew about this function. I'm going to have to read up on it. I used a bunch of match: case: statements.

I see, thanks alot
