/*

Part 1: Debugging Challenge
The JavaScript code below contains intentional bugs related to type conversion.
Please do the following:
  - Run the script to observe unexpected outputs.
  - Debug and fix the errors using explicit type conversion methods like  Number() ,  String() , or    Boolean()  where necessary.
  - Annotate the code with comments explaining why the fix works.

Part 2: Write Your Own Examples
Write their own code that demonstrates:
  - One example of implicit type conversion.
  - One example of explicit type conversion.

  *We encourage you to:
Include at least one edge case, like NaN, undefined, or null .
Use console.log() to clearly show the before-and-after type conversions.

let result = Number("5") - 2;
//changed "5" to explicit conversion using Number() function
console.log("The result is: " + result);

let isValid = Boolean(false);
//changed "false" to false without quotes so Boolean() function would recognise this as a falsy statement and not print
if (isValid) {
    console.log("This is valid!");
}

let age = Number("25");
//used Number() function to convert string to number 
let totalAge = age + 5;
console.log("Total Age: " + totalAge);

//example of explicit type conversion
let person = "Andrea"
if (person) {
  console.log("Person is " + person);
}
console.log("Explicit conversion is " + Boolean(person));

//example of implicit conversion
console.log(10 == "10");
console.log(null == "null");
