)
Arguments
-
radix
An optional argument that specifies the radix, or base, between 2 and 36, in which the number should be represented. If omitted, base 10 is used. Note, however, that the ECMAScript specification allows an implementation to return any value if this argument is specified as any value other than 10.
Returns
A string representation of the number.
Throws
-
TypeError
If this method is invoked on an object that is not a Number.
Description
The toString( )
method of the Number object
converts a number to a string. When the
radix
argument is omitted or is specified
as 10, the number is converted to a base-10 string. If
radix
is any other value, this method
returns an implementation-defined string. Netscape implementations
and Microsoft implementations after JScript 3.0 honor the
radix
argument and return a string
representation of the number in the specified base.
