Using type Conversion we can change the datatype of one variable to another variable.
Converting Number to String
let salary = 25000.00;
document.write(salary.toString());
//Output
25000
Converting String to Number
We can use built-in methods to convert strings to numbers. The methods are Number(), parseFloat(), parseInt() and we'll also be using type of
statement to check its datatype.
Using Number() objects
let x = "5000.25";
let num = Number(x);
document.write(Number(num));
document.write("<br>");
document.write(typeof num);
//Output
5000.25
number
Using parseFloat() method
let x = "5000.25";
let num = parseFloat(x);
document.write(num);
document.write("<br>");
document.write(typeof num);
//Output
5000.25
number
Using parseInt() method
let x = "5000.25";
let num = parseInt(x);
document.write(num);
document.write("<br>");
document.write(typeof num);
//Output
5000
number
As you can see in parseInt()
method the decimal points are omitted this is because the num
variable is of type integer and does not have decimal points.
