numObj = new Number(value)

Arguments

numobj

Required. The variable name to which the Number object is assigned.

value

Required. The numeric value of the Number object being created.

Remarks

JScript creates Number objects as required from numerical values. It is rarely necessary to create Number objects explicitly.

The primary purposes for the Number object are to collect its properties into one object, and to allow numbers to be converted into strings via the toString method.
