jQuery doesn’t have a built-in function to carry out this task because JavaScript already had them.
Convert string to int
The JavaScript parseInt()
function can convert any string with a number to int.
parseInt("10") => 10 parseInt("10.1") => 10
Convert string to float or double
To convert String to float or double in jQuery, use the JavaScript parseFloat()
function. It parses a string and returns a floating point number.
parseFloat("123.23"); => 123.23 parseFloat("1.2 2.3 3.4"); => 1.2
