Type Conversion & Coercion

Question 1

What is Type conversion in JS?

Answer 1

Type conversion is manually converting from one type to another.
JavaScript can convert to a number, String and to a boolean but cannot convert a String to int.
Example:

const Year = '1991'
console.log(Number(Year)

What is type coercion in JS?

This is done automatically by JS, when two values have different types.

Example:
- console.log(‘I am’ + 22 + ‘Years old’);
//Returns ‘I am 22 years old’
