Discussion on: You should stop using `parseInt()`

[Taufik Nurrohman]

const myNumber = '1';
console.log(+myNumber);

const myNumber = '1.5';
console.log(+myNumber);

Shorter.

By the way, you will need parseInt anyway, if you want to deal with custom base number other than 10. Example is to convert HEX color code into RGB color code:

console.log([
    parseInt('ff', 16),
    parseInt('a5', 16),
    parseInt('00', 16)
]);
