Coercion is the automatic conversion of values from one type to another in programming. It can lead to type safety issues if not handled properly.

Can you give me an example of coercion in JavaScript?

MagicBuddy

Sure! In JavaScript, if you add a number and a string, like 5 + '5', it coerces the number to a string and results in '55'.
