Description

Returns the primitive value of the specified object.

Syntax

object.valueOf( )

The object argument is any JavaScript object.

Remarks

The valueOf method is defined differently for each intrinsic JavaScript 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 object does not have a valueOf method.
