Number.toFixed() does it convert number into string?

When I used toFixed() method on a number, I thought that this method round a number to a specified approximation, but I got a surprising result, the number became string!
15.23689.toFixed(2) ==> "15.24"
So does it convert the number into string?

It returns a string representing the number after rounding, which is useful for representation purposes without losing the original value. It has no effect upon the number.

One way to get a number type to hold the rounded number: var n = Number( 15.23689.toFixed(2) );

num.toFixed()*1;

num.toFixed()*1;

//or
num.toFixed()-0;
//or
num.toFixed()/1;
:D

an even simpler coercion:
+num.toFixed()

That's a good one :) But most of the time I prefer Number(). It is more intuitive for other coders from the team which might need to analyze or change the codes. The easiness of debugging, you know ... :)

I get debuggers out of my nose every morning.
