JavaScript is a dynamic and flexible, non strongly-typed language. While it opens a few doors for erroneous coding patterns, it also comes with several advantages. One of those is the flexibility of doing something in multiple ways.

Here in the code below, I’m demonstrating 6 different ways to convert a number into a string:

1. Convert using the String() constructor

const someNumber = 10
const someString = String(someNumber)

console.log(someString)
console.log(typeof someString)

//output
10
string
Code language: JavaScript (javascript)

2. Convert using toString() method

const anotherNumber = 20
const anotherString = anotherNumber.toString()

console.log(anotherString)
console.log(typeof anotherString)

//output
20
string
Code language: JavaScript (javascript)

3. Convert by pre-appending empty string

const yetAnotherNumber = 30
const yetAnotherString = '' + yetAnotherNumber

console.log(yetAnotherString)
console.log(typeof yetAnotherString)

//output
20
string
Code language: JavaScript (javascript)

4. Convert by post-appending empty string

const newNumber = 40
const newString = newNumber + ''

console.log(newString)
console.log(typeof newString)

//output
40
string
Code language: JavaScript (javascript)

5. Convert using string interpolation syntax

const moreNumber = 50
const moreString = `${moreNumber}`

console.log(moreString)
console.log(typeof moreString)

//output
50
string
Code language: JavaScript (javascript)

6. Convert using JSON.stringify()

const oneMoreNumber = 60
const oneMoreString = JSON.stringify(oneMoreNumber)

console.log(oneMoreString)
console.log(typeof oneMoreString)

//output
60
string
Code language: JavaScript (javascript)
