This is a solution a found of a question, here i dont understand what is the function of +

var decodeString = function(s) {

  var currentNum = '';

  var currentStr = '';

  var arrNum = [];

  var arrStr = [];

  

  for(let i = 0; i < s.length; i++){

    if(s[i] >= 0 && s[i] < 10){

        currentNum += s[i];

    } else if(s[i] == '['){

        arrNum.push(currentNum);

        arrStr.push(currentStr);

        currentNum = '';

        currentStr = '';

    } else if(s[i] == ']'){

        currentStr = new Array(+arrNum.pop()).fill(currentStr).join(''); //'+" what is this plus?

        currentStr = arrStr.pop() + currentStr;

    } else{

        currentStr += s[i];

    }

  }

  return currentStr;

};

console.log(decodeString("3[a2[c]]"));

I don’t understand what you are saying in the title. Can you please provide a link to what you are working on and more fully describe what you need help with? Thanks.


I’ve edited your post for readability. When you enter a code block into a forum post, please precede it with a separate line of three backticks and follow it with a separate line of three backticks to make it easier to read.

You can also use the “preformatted text” tool in the editor (</>) to add backticks around text.

See this post to find the backtick on your keyboard.
Note: Backticks (`) are not single quotes (’).

I’m assuming this is the + you’re talking about. This is a short-circuit way of coercing a value to a number. It is removing the last value from an array, and if it can, making it a numeric value.
