Some arithmetic operations I tried:
'2' - '1' = 1 (as expected)
'2' / '1' = 1 (makes sense)
'2' + '1' = 99 (how?)
'2' * '1' = 2450 (why???)
'2' % '1' = 1 (again why?)

A `char` is a number. See [this](https://www.utf8-chartable.de/). – akuzminykh Aug 29 '20 at 17:33

I understand that. when you add numbers 1 and 2, shouldn't you get 3? Why is it 99 and not 3? – Varrior Aug 29 '20 at 17:37

you add the ascii codes of the two characters. '1' = 49 and '2' = 50. to add you can add 1 to '1' to obtain 2. 49+50 = 99, 49*50=2450, 50%49 = 1, 50/49 = 1. – laenNoCode Aug 29 '20 at 17:37
