JavaScript - opposite of toString()?

When used with numbers, the toString() method converts a number into a string representation using the base numbering system specified by the optional radix.

For instance the number 8 and toString(2) would return "1000".

Is there a method to achieve the opposite? I.e., convert the string "1000" back into the n开发者_Go百科umber 8?

parseInt() takes a radix as its second argument, so you can do parseInt("1000", 2) to get what you want.

You can use parseInt using a raidx 2. i.e

parseInt("1000", 2) will return 8
