how so? /genq

strings are immutable, there's no differece converting the whole name or fisrt char if youre not reassociating.

well done then

That was just the default comment.

Would it be good practice to convert to a number if you plan on working with TypeScript or if you don't want type-coersion related bugs in your code?

It's clever because it's simple, fast and correct.

The string comparison is comparing the first digit, and 5 is greater than 1, so it terminates the comparison. If they were equal it would proceed to the next digit.

removed 2nd condition

Why I am getting this?:

"55">"100";
true

Rewrote the description.

If already, it should have used an array of the solutions and returned solutions[i] instead of any other logic.

i was thinking the same thing :)

Ideally it should be something like this:
int remainingPages = itemCount() % itemsPerPage;

if(remainingPages == 0 || pageIndex < pageCount() - 1) return itemsPerPage;
else return remainingPages;
