using division operator (/) on strings in javascript

by

When you use / on strings, the strings are implicitly converted to numbers and then division operation is performed.

This may work in all browsers, but it’s always good practice to convert to number explicitly using parseInt or parseFloat or other method.

parseInt("101", 10) / 100

Or

parseFloat("101") / 100
