Syntax

object.valueOf( )
The object argument is any JScript object.

Remarks

The valueOf method is defined differently for each intrinsic JScript object.

Object Return Value

Array The elements of the array are converted into strings, and the strings are concatenated together, separated by commas. This behaves the same as the Array.toString and Array.join methods.

Boolean The Boolean value.

Date The stored time value in milliseconds since midnight, January 1, 1970 UTC.

Function The function itself.

Number The numeric value.

Object The object itself. This is the default.

The Math object does not have a valueOf method.
