In this article, I will be discussing a few methods to convert a string into a number.
<h3 id="heading-parseint">parseInt()</h3>
<pre><code class="lang-js">const x = "5"

parseInt(x) // 5
</code></pre>
You can easily convert a string to a number with <code>parseInt()</code>. If you pass any word or a letter in <code>parseInt()</code> then it will return <code>Nan</code> - Not a Number
<h3 id="heading-number">Number()</h3>
In JavaScript, the <code>Number()</code> method converts the value to a number and if the value failed to convert then it will return <code>NaN</code>.
<pre><code class="lang-js">const x = "5"

Number(x)
</code></pre>
<h3 id="heading-plus-unary-operator">Plus (+) unary operator</h3>
<pre><code class="lang-js">const x = "5"

const num = +x
</code></pre>
Using the <code>+</code> operator alone before an element indicates a math operation and tries to convert the element to a number, and if it fails to do - it will return <code>NaN</code>

In this article,  I will be discussing a few methods to convert a string into a number.

### parseInt()
```js
const x = "5"

parseInt(x) // 5
```
You can easily convert a string to a number with `parseInt()`. If you pass any word or a letter in `parseInt()` then it will return `Nan` - **Not a Number**

### Number()
In JavaScript, the `Number()` method converts the value to a number and if the value failed to convert then it will return `NaN`.
```js
const x = "5"

Number(x)
```
### Plus (+) unary operator
```js
const x = "5"

const num = +x
```
Using the `+` operator alone before an element indicates a math operation and tries to convert the element to a number, and if it fails to do - it will return `NaN`
