## [Number](https://github.com/ferreiratiago/js-wtf/blob/master/number.md)
```js
Number('0.') // 0
Number('.0') // 0
Number('.') // NaN
```
[*Why?*](https://github.com/ferreiratiago/js-wtf/blob/master/number.md#wtf)
```js
Number({}) // NaN
Number([]) // 0
```
[*Why?*](https://github.com/ferreiratiago/js-wtf/blob/master/number.md#wtf-1)
```js
Number(undefined) // NaN
Number(null) // 0
```
[*Why?*](https://github.com/ferreiratiago/js-wtf/blob/master/number.md#wtf-2)
```js
Number('0O0') // 0
Number('0X0') // 0
```
[*Why?*](https://github.com/ferreiratiago/js-wtf/blob/master/number.md#wtf-3)
```js
Number.MAX_VALUE > 0; //true
Number.MIN_VALUE < 0; //false
```
[*Why?*](https://github.com/ferreiratiago/js-wtf/blob/master/number.md#wtf-4)
```js
42.toFixed(2) // SyntaxError: Invalid or unexpected token
42. toFixed(2) // SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier
42 .toFixed(2) // '42.00'
42 . toFixed(2) // '42.00'
42.0.toFixed(2) // '42.00'
42..toFixed(2) // '42.00'
(42).toFixed(2) // '42.00'

```js
true + true === 2 // true
true - true === 0 // true
true === 1 // false
```
[*Why?*](https://github.com/ferreiratiago/js-wtf/blob/master/operators.md#wtf-1)
```js
0.1 + 0.2 === 0.3 // false
```
[*Why?*](https://github.com/ferreiratiago/js-wtf/blob/master/operators.md#wtf-2)
```js
1 < 2 < 3 // true
3 > 2 > 1 // false
```
[*Why?*](https://github.com/ferreiratiago/js-wtf/blob/master/operators.md#wtf-3)
```js
'5' + 3 // '53'
'5' - 3 // 2
```
