Small mistake I guess:
"Suppose you want to perform addition of some numbers, say from 1 to 10." should be "from 111 to 121".
seq -s " + " 111 121
in my shell creates "111 + 112 + 113 + 114 + 115 + 116 + 117 + 118 + 119 + 120 + 121 +"
and "expr" will then complain (syntax error) for the last +
A possible fix is seq -s " + " -t 0 111 121
you could even use both -format and --separator in one command:
seq -f "'%g'" -s "," 90 111
'90','91','92','93','94','95','96','97','98','99','100','101','102','103','104','105','106','107','108','109','110','111'
