OK...

Is that the full message?

@asgs yup

Maybe a test case will enlighten us as to what's going on. The error message still sucks

Yea... IntelliJ IDEA does that to me on a regular basis...
trying to add one value that was read from database and another one that came in a request, using parseFloat on the value that came in the request, adding them and saving to the database... saves a string... ok, let's try to also parse the value read from database... still saves string
...fine, let's parse the whole additi... THIS FUNCTION REQUIRES A STRING!
ffs, then why is it saving a string IntelliJ?! Not so IntelliJ now, huh?

Java is indeed a joke/meme.

@Root I thought js was the meem
