Table 3 Number Methods

Description
The ceiling method returns the smallest integer that is not less than the value of number1.
The floor method returns the largest integer that is not greater than the value of number1.
The number method converts object1 to a numerical value according to the following rules:
  • Boolean true is converted to 1; Boolean false is converted to 0.

  • A string that includes whitespace at the beginning and end, a minus sign, and a number (where the whitespace and minus sign are optional) is converted to the closest IEEE 754 number.

  • Strings that do not compute to a numerical value are converted to NaN.

  • A set of nodes is converted to a string and then converted as a string (as described above).

The number literal method allows you to create a number of fixed length and content. You can type the value directly into the method box.
The round method rounds the value of number1 to the nearest integer.
The sum method returns the total value of the set of numeric values in node-set1.
