Numbers are also objects. So you can do cool stuff like:
// convert to base 2
(5).toString(2) // returns "101"
// provide built in iteration
Number.prototype.times = function(funct){
if(typeof funct === 'function') {
for(var i = 0;i < Math.floor(this);i++) {
funct(i);
}
}
return this;
}
(5).times(function(i){
string += i+" ";
});
// string now equals "0 1 2 3 4 "
var x = 1000;
x.times(function(i){
document.body.innerHTML += 'paragraph #'+i+'
';
});
// adds 1000 parapraphs to the document
