Name

Object.toLocaleString() — return an object’s localized string representation

Synopsis

object.toString()

Returns

A string representing the object.

Description

This method is intended to return a string representation of the object, localized as appropriate for the current locale. The default toLocaleString() method provided by the Object class simply calls the toString() method and returns the nonlocalized string that it returns. Note, however, that other classes, including Array, Date, and Number, define their own versions of this method to perform localized string conversions. When defining your own classes, you may want to override this method as well.
