Exploiting valueOf() in Math Operations

You can leverage the valueOf() method to customize how an object is treated in mathematical operations. you can make objects behave like primitive values in arithmetic expressions and This can be useful when working with custom objects and you want them to interact seamlessly with the JavaScript’s built-in arithmetic operations.

Syntax:

const gfg = {
    hours: 4,
    minutes: 20,
    valueOf() {
        return this.hours * 50 + this.minutes;
    }
};

Example: In this example, we are using the above-explained approach.

In JavaScript, The valueOf() method is a fundamental method that allows objects to specify how they should be converted to primitive values. When an object is used in a context where a primitive value is expected JavaScript automatically calls the valueOf() method on the object to get its primitive representation.

We will explore all the above methods along with their basic implementation with the help of examples.
