The toString() method in Javascript is used with a number and converts the number to a string. It is used to return a string representing the specified Number object.

Syntax:

num.toString(base)

The toString() method is used with a number num as shown in above syntax using the ‘.’ operator. This method will convert num to a string.

Parameters Used: This method accepts a single optional parameter base. This parameter specifies the base in which the integer is represented in the string. It is an integer between 2 and 36 which is used to specify the base for representing numeric values.

Return Value: The num.toString() method returns a string representing the specified number object.

Below are some examples to illustrate the working of toString() method in JavaScript:

1. Converting a number to a string with base 2: To convert a number to a string with base 2, we will have to call the toString() method by passing 2 as a parameter.

   chevron_right

   filter_none

   Output:

   Output : d5

4. When no parameter is passed: If the toString() method is called without passing any parameter then the number will be converted to string without change in BASE. Below is the program to illustrate this:
