7.8.3 toString Method

Returns a string representation of an object.
 

Syntax

objectname.toString( )

Arguments

objectname

Remarks

The toString method is a member of all built-in JScript objects. How it behaves depends on the object type:
 

Object Behavior
Array
 
 
Boolean
 
If the Boolean value is True, returns "true". Otherwise, returns "false"

function functionname( ) { [native code] }
 
Number
 
Returns the textual representation of the number.
 
String
 
Returns the value of the String object.
 
Default
 
Returns "[object objectname]", where objectname is the name of the object type.
