toLocaleString()

Returns a localized string representation of the object. The

default implementation of this method simply calls

toString(

)

, but subclasses may override it to provide localization. JS 1.5;

JScript 5.5; ECMA v3.

toString()

Returns a string representation of the object. The implemen-

tation of this method provided by the Object class is quite

generic and does not provide much useful information.

Subclasses of Object typically override this method by

defining their own

toString() method that produces more

useful output. JS 1.0; JScript 2.0; ECMA v1.

valueOf()

Returns the primitive value of the object, if any. For objects of

type Object, this method simply returns the object itself.

Subclasses of Object, such as Number and Boolean, override

this method to return the primitive value associated with the

object. JS 1.1; JScript 2.0; ECMA v1.
