How to converto to int string value?

Question

I tried to do that like as:

const int = Number(this.getCurrentYear());

It return me string current year

@EmirMaljanovic: That won't make any difference to the *type* of `int`. `Number` definitely returns a number. — T.J. Crowder, Sep 03 '17 at 09:24
Stack Overflow is a *very* active place. When you post a question (or answer), *stick around* for a few minutes to address comments, such as JaromandaX's point that no, that doesn't give you a string. — T.J. Crowder, Sep 03 '17 at 09:35
`const int = +this.getCurrentYear();` placing a `+` sign before the string will convert to int — Aravind, Sep 03 '17 at 09:37
@Aravind: That does exactly what the OP's code does, just implicitly rather than explicitly. — T.J. Crowder, Sep 03 '17 at 09:42

You must parse it to an int

var numberAsString = "4566";
var numberAsInt = parseInt(numberAsString);

so change your code to this

const int = parseInt(this.getCurrentYear());

if this doesnt work either this.getCurrentYear() must not be a number(its either undefined or contains alphabets or symbols)

This is actually worse then OP has with using `Number()` – zerkms Sep 04 '17 at 08:53
