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, in the specified base.
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. Although the
ECMAScript specification does not require implementations to honor
any other values for radix, all implementations in common use accept
values between 2 and 36.
