To change the type of a value in JavaScript, it is necessary to perform type conversion, which implies transforming the data type from its original state to a distinct one.
There are two main ways to perform type conversion in JavaScript:
1. Implicit Type Conversion (Type Coercion):
JavaScript automatically performs type conversion in certain situations, such as when using operators or functions with operands of different types.
Implicit conversion to String:
Implicit conversion to Number:
2. Explicit Type Conversion:
You can also perform type conversion explicitly using functions such as parseInt()
, parseFloat()
, String()
, Number()
, Boolean()
, and toString()
.
