Array.valueOf() (Method)

Returns the contents of the array converted to a native primitive value.

Availability:

JavaScript - 1.1
JScript - 3.0
Internet Explorer - 4.0
Netscape - 3.0
Property/method value type:String primitive
JavaScript syntax:-myObject.valueOf()

The primitive value of the receiving object is returned by this method. Because an array is an aggregation of many elements, a simple type conversion is not appropriate. The individual elements are converted to string values and are then concatenated together and returned as a single string primitive value. This applies even if an array comprises a collection of numeric values.
