An integer is any numeric value.
Where some will argue that an integer is any whole number like 0 or 1.
But is "1" the same as 1? No it is not.

I once came across a web page that asked this simple question:
When does '1'+'1'='11'?
Notice the quotes.
in computer math 1+1=2.
But '1'+'1'='11'

In your code above, check line 13.
In line 5 you defined $key="1234".
In line 13, you are treating this value as an integer, not a string as you
defined it.
The quotes define the value as a string.
Try using the quotes around 1234 and see what happens.

In BASIC, a statement like a$="hello"+world would generate an error.
So to be correct it would have to be like this:
a$="hello"+str$(world)
str$() converts an integer to a string.
