I see your REXX, and raise you an awk,¹ except that awk won't add a
string to a number, or a number to string, but it will concatenate in
both cases:

    $ echo 1 a | awk '{print $1 $2}{print $1 + $2}'
    1a
    1

    $ echo 1 a | awk '{print $2 $1}{print $2 + $1}'
    a1
    1

    $ echo 1 2 | awk '{print $1 $2}{print $2 + $1}'
    12
    3
