How to convert a string to number

rated 0 times [ 168] [ 6] / answers: 1 / hits: 134632 / 8 Years ago, fri, november 18, 2016, 12:00:00

I can't figure it out how to convert this string 82144251 to a number.

Code:

var num = 82144251;

If I try the code below the .toFixed() function converts my number back to a string...

Question update:
I'm using the Google Apps Script editor and that must be the issue...

num = parseInt(num).toFixed() // if I just do parseInt(num) it returns 8.2144251E7

You can convert a string to number using unary operator '+' or parseInt(number,10) or Number()

check these snippets

var num1a = 1;

console.log(+num1a);



var num1b = 2;

num1b=+num1b;

console.log(num1b);





var num3 = 3

console.log(parseInt(num3,10));





var num4 = 4;

console.log(Number(num4));

Hope it helps
