24.138. Number.toString( ): convert a number to a string

ECMAScript v1: Overrides Object.toString( )

24.138.1. Synopsis

number.toString(radix)

24.138.1.1. Arguments

radix

An optional argument that specifies the radix, or base, between 2 and 36, in which the number should be represented. If omitted, base 10 is used. Note, however, that the ECMAScript specification allows an implementation to return any value if this argument is specified as any value other than 10.

24.138.1.2. Returns

A string representation of the number, in the specified base.

24.138.1.3. Throws

TypeError

If this method is invoked on an object that is not a Number.

24.138.2. Description

The toString( ) method of the Number object converts a number to a string. When the radix argument is omitted or is specified as 10, the number is converted to a base-10 string. Although the ECMAScript specification does not require implementations to honor any other values for radix, all implementations in common use accept values between 2 and 36.
