Number.prototype.toString()

2 tags 1 category

The toString() method of Number values returns a string representing this number value.

The Number object overrides the toString method of Object; it does not inherit Object.prototype.toString(). For Number values, the toString method returns a string representation of the value in the specified radix.

For radixes above 10, the letters of the alphabet indicate digits greater than 9. For example, for hexadecimal numbers (base 16) a through f are used.

If the specified number value is negative, the sign is preserved. This is the case even if the radix is 2; the string returned is the positive binary representation of the number value preceded by a – sign, not the two’s complement of the number value.

Syntax example: toString()
