Javascript error; Uncaught SyntaxError: missing ) after argument list

Question

I keep getting this error (Javascript error; Uncaught SyntaxError: missing ) after argument list) when trying to call a simple function. Everything works without calling it in a function but I need to do it multiple times.

function myFunction(ip, port, div) {
    $.get('http://mcping.net/api/'+ ip + ":" + port, function(data){
        console.log(data.online);
        $(div).html(data.online);
    });
}
myFunction(162.223.8.210, 25567, #factionsOnline)

You're missing a parentheses because you didn't quote your strings

myFunction('162.223.8.210', '25567', '#factionsOnline');

oh, thought because they were numbers, they wouldn't need it?

The numbers stricly don't but you're joining them with strings anyway, but the last argument isn't a number

Also 162.223.8.210 is not a valid number, so that needs to be quoted

alright, thanks. Also what is better to use single quotes or double quotes?
