// parseFloat takes in a string value and converts it to a float<br /> // The parseFloat function will look at the first character of<br /> // the string and decided whether that character is a number or not<br /> // If not the parseFloat function will return Nan</p> <p>let stringNumber = “8.0”</p> <p>let floatNuumber = parseFloat(stringNumber);

var string = “10”;<br /> var float = parseFloat(string);<br /> console.log(typeof(float)); // float

//do do this use parseFloat()<br /> //it turns a string into a float in js<br /> //you can later use this for animation<br /> var string = “10”<br /> string = parseFloat(string)<br /> console.log(string)
