I'm trying to do

458.toString() and its giving error (Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token ILLEGAL). Then after trying/searching some other process they worked. eg.

458 .toString();
458..toString();
(458).toString();

I understand #3, but not well about #1 and #2. Please help me with explanation of #1 and #2 statement.

I'm using #3 now, never seen other two. So curious about them and their mechanism. – The System Restart Dec 11 '14 at 17:28

I've always liked `458 + ''` – Mike Christensen Dec 11 '14 at 17:28

I'm sure this has an explanation on SO, but in both cases JS mixes the notation dot with decimal point, space or an extra dot fixes the issue. – Teemu Dec 11 '14 at 17:30
