Javascript - Convert String into Number

There are several ways to convert a String into a Number.(or vice versa)

Simple way

// Number to String
let t1 = 5;
t1 += '';

// String to Number
let t2 = '123';
t2 *= 1; // t2 += 0, t2 /= 1, t2 -= 0 all possible

This is the most simplest way.

function Number() and String()

// Number to String
let t1 = 5;
t1 = String(t1); // '5'

// String to Number
let t2 = '123';
t2 = Number(t2);

let t3 = '10.5';
t3 = Number(t3); // 10.5

function parseInt() and parseFloat()

let t1 = '5';
t1 = parseInt(t1);

let t2 = '10cm';
t2 = parseInt(t2); // 10

let t3 = '10.5';
t3 = parseFloat(t3); // 10.5

API definition of parseInt is like below.

• parseInt(string, radix)
