Here, operators work one after another. The first `+` sums two numbers, so it returns `4`, then the next `+` adds the string `1` to it, so it's like `4 + '1' = 41`.
```js run
alert('1' + 2 + 2); // "122" and not "14"
```
Here, the first operand is a string, the compiller treats the other two operands as string too. The `2` gets concatinated to `'1'`, so it's like `'1' + 2 = "12"` and `"12" + 2 = "122"`
The binary `+` is the only operator that supports strings in such a way. Other arithmetic operators work only with numbers and always convert their operands to numbers.
Here's the demo for subtraction and division:
