Dear Michael,
You may probably as well get a way sharper answer either from Michael (Schmid) or Wayne, but what you are describing is something that I'm used to see (and use).
You can even push it further and do this in java with the IJ.log method where you can write:
IJ.log("" + val);
val being an int without having to use any Integer.toString(val) or String.valueOf(val) method for the conversion.
Nevertheless for a string to int or flat conversion in macro language I still prefer to use the parseInt(string) or parseFloat(string) methods is order to be sure to not make any mistakes.
Have a nice end of week-end and take care!

Would you please help me with a question about strings and numbers with operators?
I expected the following n= and n0= to give errors:
nstring = "" + "6.7635";
n = nstring + 17;
n0 = 17 + nstring;
However,
print(n);
print(n0);
yielded
6.763517
23.7635
Is this new in ImageJ that numbers and strings may be converted in expressions based on the type of the first element in an equation or have I simply not noticed it before?
Thank you!
