Usage
The documentation lists numeric values as various types such
as int, long, and double to
indicate intent. However, the primitive data type for all numbers
is double.
Specify literal numbers in one of the
following formats:
- Integer, for example, 2.
- Fixed, for example, 2.14.
- Exponential, for example, 214E-2.
Server-side JavaScript gives numeric primitives and literals
access to Number methods. You can follow a string primitive or literal
with a period and the name of a Number method, as in the following
examples:
2.1.toString()
var n = 2.1;
n.toString()
