The JavaScript String () Function can convert an object to a string. For example:

let x = 12;

String(x)

The resulting value of x is “12”.

Similarly, one way that JavaScript can convert a value into a number is with the Number() Function. Here is an example where I tested it in console to see the change from a string character value to a number value for myself:

> let x = “3”;

< undefined

> x

< “3”

> x += 1

< “31”

> Number(x) + 1

< 32

As described here – https://www.w3schools.com/js/js_number_methods.asp), there are a few ways to convert a value into a number (Number(), parseFloat(), parseInt()) or to perform additional functions such as returning the number with a specified number of decimals.
