JavaScript Objects

Boolean Number String Array Math Date RegExp

Boolean Object Create Boolean objects with an initial value of false:

var myBoolean=new Boolean(); var myBoolean=new Boolean(0); var myBoolean=new Boolean(null); var myBoolean=new Boolean(""); var myBoolean=new Boolean(false); var myBoolean=new Boolean(NaN);

Create Boolean objects with an initial value of true:var myBoolean=new Boolean(1); var myBoolean=new Boolean(true);var myBoolean=new Boolean("true");var myBoolean=new Boolean("false"); var myBoolean=new Boolean("Richard");

Number Object

var myNum=new Number(86); Properties:

MAX_VALUE, MIN_VALUE, NaN, NEGATIVE_INFINITY, POSITIVE_INFINITY
