Stoopid question time!
I know that in JavaScript you have to convert the integer to a string:
var num = 1024;
len = num.toString().length;
console.log(len);
My question is this: Why is there no get length property for integers in JavaScript? Is it something that isn't used that often?
Well, I don't think providing length properties to number will be helpful.
The point is the length of strings does not change by changing its representation.
for example you can have a string similar to this:
var b = sometext;
and its length property will not change unless you actually change the string itself.
But this is not the case with numbers.
Same number can have multiple representations. E.g.:
var a = 23e-1;
and
var b = 2.3;
So its clear that same number can have multiple representations
hence, if you have length property with numbers it will have to change with the representation of the number.
