Prototype extends native JavaScript numbers in order to provide −

  • ObjectRange compatibility, through Number#succ.

  • Ruby-like numerical loops with Number#times.

  • Simple utility methods such as Number#toColorPart and Number#toPaddedString.

Here is the list of all the functions with examples dealing with Numbers.

3. floor()

4. round()

5. succ()

Returns the successor of the current Number, as defined by current + 1. Used to make numbers compatible with ObjectRange.
