toString Method

Microsoft® JScript™
toString Method

Description

Returns a string representation of an object.

Syntax

objectname.toString( )
The objectname argument is an object for which a string representation is sought.

Remarks

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

Array Behavior [still to come]

Boolean If the Boolean value is true, returns "true". Otherwise, returns "false"
Function
Returns a string returned of the following form, where functionname is the name of the function whose toString method was called:
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.
