What is the difference between Number(…) and parseFloat(…)

Question

What is the difference between parseInt(string) and Number(string) in JavaScript has been asked previously.

But the answers basically focused on the radix

Answer 1

When not using new to create a wrapper object for a numerical value, Number is relegated to simply doing type conversion from string to number.

'parseFloat' on the other hand, as you mentioned, can parse a floating point number from any string that starts with a digit, a decimal, or +/-

So, if you're only working with strings that contain only numerical values, Number(x) and parseFloat(x) will result in the same values
