## 🌟 Wololo ### Converting types As you now know, the number `42` is different than the string `'42'`, but if we write `` `${42}` `` we converted the number to a string ! We see it because of the delimiters, but it is also true for the memory in your computer. For example we can not multiply strings, if you try to do `'hello' * 2` or `'hello' * 'hello'` you will have an unexpected result. > Well what were you expecting really ? `'hellohello'` maybe ? So sometimes it is useful to go from strings to number to boolean _and back !_ - `Number` is a function to convert to a number. - `Boolean` is a function to convert to a boolean. - `String` is a function to convert to, you guessed it, a string. So to convert a `boolean` to a `string` we would write: ```js String(true) ``` One other way we can use `placeholders` for, is to convert from any values to a string, but using functions is clearer than abusing placeholder syntax: ```js let str42Placeholder = `${42}` // was this a mistake ? let str42Function = String(42) // ah okay we want a string ! ``` > So there you have it, calling, arguments and return values. Let's see you > apply all of that now. ### Instructions For this exercise, we provided 3 variables `num`, `bool` and `str` of a matching type. Using the magical power of functions, execute the following conversions: - Declare a `stringFromNumber` variable of the converted value of `num` to a `string` - Declare a `stringFromBoolean` variable of the converted value of `bool` to a `string` - Declare a `numberFromString` variable of the converted value of `str` to a `number` - Declare a `numberFromBoolean` variable of the converted value of `bool` to a `number` - Declare a `booleanFromString` variable of the converted value of `str` to a `boolean` - Declare a `booleanFromNumber` variable of the converted value of `num` to a `boolean`
