Number
The number data type is a double-precision floating-point number. You can manipulate numbers using the arithmetic operators addition ( + ), subtraction ( – ), multiplication ( * ), division ( / ), modulo ( % ), increment ( ++ ), and decrement ( — ). You can also use methods of the built-in Math and Number classes to manipulate numbers. The following example uses the sqrt() (square root) method to return the square root of the number 50:
Math.sqrt(50);
