Is there something I should know about the jquery .text method?
<p>I'm learning about the <a href="http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.data/" rel="nofollow">.data method</a> and saw this in the code:</p>

<pre><code>$("span").text("" + value);
</code></pre>

<p>Q: Is there a reason why the author put ("" + value) instead of simply (value)?</p>
