JavaScript - opposite of toString()?

rated 0 times [ 27] [ 7] / answers: 1 / hits: 16378 / 14 Years ago, sat, january 8, 2011, 12:00:00

When used with numbers, the toString() method converts a number into a string representation using the base numbering system specified by the optional radix.

For instance the number 8 and toString(2) would return 1000.

Is there a method to achieve the opposite? I.e., convert the string 1000 back into the number 8?

parseInt() takes a radix as its second argument, so you can do parseInt(1000, 2) to get what you want.
