Returns a string representation of an object.
objectname.toString([radix]) |
Arguments
- objectname
-
Required. An object for which a string representation is sought.
- radix
-
Optional. Specifies a radix for converting numeric values to strings. This value is only used for numbers.
Remarks
The toString method is a member of all built-in JScript objects. How it behaves depends on the object type:
Object | Behavior | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Array |
Elements of an Array are converted to strings. The resulting strings are concatenated, separated by commas. |
||||
Boolean |
If the Boolean value is true, returns " |
||||
Date |
Returns the textual representation of the date. |
||||
Error |
Returns a string containing the associated error message. |
||||
Function |
Returns a string of the following form, where functionname is the name of the function whose toString method was called:
|
||||
Number |
Returns the textual representation of the number. |
||||
String |
Returns the value of the String object. |
||||
Default |
Returns |
Example
The following example illustrates the use of the toString method with a radix argument. The return value of function shown below is a Radix conversion table.
