Okay but this documentation is obviously wrong from the first sentence

The parseInt() function parses a string argument and returns an integer of the specified radix

Integers don't have radices. It should read:

The parseInt() function parses a string argument representing an integer of the specified radix and returns that integer.

~~Either way, I still don't understand the behaviour in the image.~~ nvm, thanks [email protected]
