The comment can't be ignored because it's sitting there flagging your 
problem.  Strings (in single or double quote) are strings; a sequence of 
characters as used to write words.  Numbers are numbers.  You can't add 
them together.

This over here is my friend Bob.  What's 31 + 18 + Bob?  The question 
makes no sense, because the operation of addition isn't defined in such 
a way that allows you to add numbers to human beings.  You can't add 
them to strings either.
