Microsoft® JScript™ Number Object | Language Reference Version 2

See Also Methods Properties

##### Description

> An object representation of the number data type and placeholder for numeric constants.

##### Syntax

> new Number( value )

> The value argument is the sought numerical value for the object.

##### Remarks

> JScript creates Number objects as required from numerical values. It is rarely necessary to create Number objects explicitly.

> The primary purposes for the Number object are to collect its properties into one object, and to allow numbers to be converted into strings via the toString method.
