Description
The toString()
method of an
array converts an array to a string and returns the string. When an
array is used in a string context, JavaScript automatically converts
it to a string by calling this method. On some occasions, however,
you may want to call toString()
explicitly.
toString()
converts an
array to a string by first converting each array element to strings
(by calling its toString()
method). Once each element is converted to a string, toString()
outputs them in a
comma-separated list. This return value is the same string that
would be returned by the join()
method with no arguments.
