This is what we did, Silverjuke is using (abbreviation for Simple ECMAScript Engine).

SEE - and Silverjuke therefore - follows the ECMA-262 standards as described in the following reference: http://www.ecma-international.org/publi ... ma-262.htm

In the standard, Number() is defined where ToNumber() is not. See the reference, chapter 15.7.1 and chapter 9:
> When Number is called as a function rather than as a constructor, it performs a type conversion [...]
> [ToNumber is] not a part of the language; they are defined here to aid the specification of the semantics of the language

Maybe this makes some things clearer ...

Hi Team,

What a doc, about just as ugly as the USB 2.0 standard (which is my personal favorite - not)...

I read all the type conversion stuff, just missed the single remark in the first lines of chapter nine mentioning all the operators described were not part of the language . I guess that cause I often have to spell out these type of specs during my daytime job I just cannot force myself for this hobby to give them the same level of attention...

Number() it is. And a 1.01 version of my competition skin will be on its way, with lots of 'Number()'s
