The
Number object represents numerical date, either integers or floating-point numbers. In general, you do not need to worry about
Number objects because the browser automatically converts number literals to instances of the number class.
Syntax
The syntax for creating a
number object is as follows −
var val = new Number(number);
In the place of number, if you provide any non-number argument, then the argument cannot be converted into a number, it returns
NaN (Not-a-Number).

Here is a list of each property and their description.

NaN |

NEGATIVE_INFINITY |
A value that is less than MIN_VALUE. |
POSITIVE_INFINITY |
A value that is greater than MAX_VALUE |

A static property of the Number object. Use the prototype property
to assign new properties and methods to the Number object in the current

In the following sections, we will take a few examples to demonstrate the properties of Number.
Number Methods
The Number object contains only the default methods that are a part of every object's definition.
