- Syntax:
- number(object)
The top-level function, number, converts the object argument to a number 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.
Examples
Code:
boo = new Boolean("true")
document.write(Number(boo)) Output:
1Explanation:
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.
