how to transform a string into a number code example

Example 1: javascript convert string to number or integer

//It accepts two arguments. 
//The first argument is the string to convert. 
//The second argument is called the radix. This is the base number used in mathematical systems. For our use, it should always be 10.


var text = '42px';
var integer = parseInt(text, 10);


// returns 42

Example 2: convert a string to number in javascript

var x = parseInt("1000", 10); // you want to use radix 10
    // so you get a decimal number even with a leading 0 and an old browser ([IE8, Firefox 20, Chrome 22 and older][1])
