There is no problem with 1+"" neither with new Integer(1)+"" in Java. Nor any other object on the left hand side. The + operator is not tied to the left hand side as in C++. if either side is a string and the other side has a toString method it is OK. This is special-cased in the compiler. It is defined in the language definition, not in the library definition. -- Piet van Oostrum <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> URL: http://pietvanoostrum.com [PGP 8DAE142BE17999C4] Private email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
