Type coersion wrongly placed

[anonymous]

Please take a look at this line of code:

value = ( +( ret[1] + 1) * +ret[2] ) + parseFloat( jQuery.css( elem, name ) );

specifically

+( ret[1] + 1)

Type coercion is done *outside* the brackets. But this doesn't make sense because if ret[1] is not a number then ret[1] + 1 does the wrong thing. If ret[1] is a number then the type coercion does nothing.

Good catch. Patch to follow

No, this is the correct behavior!

+( ret[1] + 1)

in this case, ret[1] is the string "+" or "-", to which 1 is added as string. This makes the resulting string "+1" or "-1", which should then be coerced to -1 or 1 as an integer, to be multiplied by the RHS of the equals. Nothing to fix here.

@mikesherov nice, I forgot to close this after reviewig the code. Thanks!
