Numbers are treated as strings - why?

[PawlosCK]

Why numbers are treated as strings? Please look at variable " alarm.stop_date_unix_timestamp"

    function runAlarm(timer_value_sec, type_value, message_value)
        {
            alarm.start_date_unix_timestamp = Math.round((new Date()).getTime() / 1000)
            alarm.stop_date_unix_timestamp = alarm.start_date_unix_timestamp + timer_value_sec
            alarm.type_of_alarm = type_value
            alarm.message = message_value
    
            console.log("runAlarm =============================================")
    //        console.log("type_value: " + type_value)
    //        console.log("message_value: " + message_value)
            console.log("timer_value_sec: " + timer_value_sec)
            console.log("alarm.start_date_unix_timestamp: " + alarm.start_date_unix_timestamp)
            console.log("alarm.stop_date_unix_timestamp: " + alarm.stop_date_unix_timestamp)
            console.log("=============================================")
    
            timerAlarmID.start()
        }

qml: runAlarm =============================================
qml: timer_value_sec: 5
qml: alarm.start_date_unix_timestamp: 1605393976
qml: alarm.stop_date_unix_timestamp: 16053939765
qml: =============================================

Why numbers are treated as strings?

Possibly because the called passed a string instead of a number?

Check with

console.log(typeof timer_value_sec)
console.log(typeof alarm.start_date_unix_timestamp)
console.log(typeof alarm.stop_date_unix_timestamp)

Thanks. Problem solved. In code I had line

var number = ""

and I put this variable as parameter into function.
