JavaScript Number Object With Example

JavaScript Number Object

The Number object represents numerical date, either integers or floating-point numbers. The browser automatically converts number literals to instances of the number class.

Syntax for creating a number object:

        
  var val = new Number(number);

If the argument cannot be converted into a number, it returns NaN(Not-a-Number).
