All Functions
Function: number
number
(object)
The top-level function,
number
, converts the
object
argument to a string representing the object's value. If the value cannot be represented by a legitimate number, the "Not-a-Number" value,
NaN
is returned.
The
object
argument must be a JavaScript object. If no argument is provided,
number
returns zero, 0.
In this example, a new
Boolean
object is created with a string argument of "true". The
number
function returns, 1, which is the number equivalence of the value of the object.
Code:
boo = new Boolean("true")
document.write(Number(boo))
Output:
1
