Example

The following example shows how to call the ASP.NET AJAX parseInvariant extension function to create a number from the string representation of a number.

var a = Number.parseInvariant("4");
var b = new Number(2);
var c = Number.parseInvariant("1.53") + a + b;
// View the results: "7.53"
alert(c);
