Object |
Behavior |
Array |
Elements of an Array are converted to strings. The resulting strings are concatenated, separated by commas. |
Boolean |
If the Boolean value is True, returns "true". Otherwise, returns "false". |
Function |
Returns a string returned of the following form, where functionname is the name of the function whose toString method was called: Function functionname( ) { [native code] } |
Number |
Returns the textual representation of the number. |
String |
Returns the value of the String object. |
Default |
Returns "[object objectname]", where objectname is the name of the object type. |
