JavaScript toString method

JavaScript's toString() method is used to convert any object into the string object. If we want to convert an object from one format into String format then it is very useful.

Syntax :

object.toString();

Where object can be any object and this method will convert that object value to a string value. Let us understand use of toString() method with a very simple example. Here we have explained this by converting a Date object into the String object.

Description of code :

To illustrate toString() method , in this simple HTML page we have created a button and as soon as button is clicked convertToString() method is called which is defined in the JavaScript <script></script> tags.

alert(new Date().toString());

In the above line of code we have first taken the current date object by creating a new date object reference using "new Date()". After this we have converted this to the string. Result of new Date().toString() method is a date converted into the string format and which is shown in an alert message box.
