Returns the primitive value of the specified object.
object.valueOf( )
The required object reference is any intrinsic JScript object.
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. |
| String | The string value. |
The Math and Error objects do not have a valueOf method.
