I am now working in a branch of my GitHub repository, that's designed as a starting branch. As always you can go to the ending version of this exercise any time you like. I'll run this code, and see the output. As long as there's at least one string in a series of values, this sort of conversion happens correctly. I'll create a new string and I'll use explicit typing, I'll name the string howMany, and I'll give it a value of 20, and then I'll append a string of things, and then I'll output that variable, and I get 20 things. But here's what happens if you try to append two numbers in the same way. If you use explicit typing, I'll name this result2 and I'll add 10 plus 20, and if I move the cursor over…
