// Working with Arithmetic Operators
//  +  (Addition)
//  -  (Subtraction)
//  *  (Multiplication)
//  /  (Division)

// add Numbers
alert(6 + 1);

// subtract numbers
alert(6 - 1);

// multiply numbers
alert(6*2);

// divide numbers
alert(6/2);


//creates 3 variables, in this case a 'string'. 
var a = '5', b = '6', c = '7';

// Use the '+' operator concatenate the
// number/strings as a new string '567'
alert (a+b+c);


//creates 3 variables, in this case 'numeric'. 
var a = 5, b = 6, c = 7;

// Use the '+' operator to give the value
// of the added numeric values, in this case 18
alert (a+b+c);


// creates 3 variables, in this case
// two are 'numeric' and one is a string.
var a = 5, b = 6, c = "7";

// Use the '+' operator to give the value
// The first two are added to make 11 and 7
// is concatenated on the end to give 117
alert (a+b+c);



// Concatenating Strings

// Define some variables
// In this case, use strings
var me = "Jeff"
var wife = "Rachel";
var dog = "The Todd";

alert(me);
alert(wife);
alert(dog)

// Define a varialble by concatenating variables
var family = me + ", " + wife + ", and " + dog;

alert(family);


// forcing strings to behave as numerics

// sets to variables, each a string in this case because they are in quotes
var one = '1';
var two = '2';
var three = '3'

// result 1 concatenates the two strings, the result should be '12'
alert(one + two);

// result2 uses the method Number to force the strings to be interpreted as numeric values, resulting in a value of '3'
alert(Number(one) + Number(two));

// Using multiplication and division operators can coerce strings to numerics
// Results in a value of 6
alert(two * three);

// Results in a value of 1.5
alert(three / two);
