Built-in functions
JavaScript provides a large number of built-in functions. These functions are
also called methods.

1. alert()
This function is used to display an alert message on the screen.
Eg: alert(“Your password is incorrect”);

2. isNaN()
This function is used to check whether an entered value is a number or not.
‘NaN’ stands for ‘Not a Number’. This function returns ‘true’ if the given value is not
a number.

3. toLowerCase()
This function is used to convert the given string to its lower case format ie;
capital letters will be converted to small letters.
Eg:
<script Language = “JavaScript”> Output
var x, y;
welcome to javascript
x= “Welcome to JavaScript”;
y= x.toLowerCase();
document.write(y);
</script>

4. toUpperCase()
This function is used to convert the given string to its upper case format ie;
small letters will be converted to capital letters.
Eg:
<script Language = “JavaScript”> Output
var x, y;
WELCOME TO JAVASCRIPT
x= “Welcome to JavaScript”;
y= x.toLowerCase();
document.write(y);
</script>

5. charAt()
This function returns the character at a prescribed position. charAt(0) returns
the first character in the string. charAt(5) returns the sixth character in the string.
Eg:
<script Language = “JavaScript”> Output
var S, n;
S= “JavaScript”; r
n= S.charAt(6);
document.write(n);
</script>

6. Number()
This function converts a string into its number type.

‘length’ Property
This property returns the length (number of characters) of a given string.

Eg:
<script Language = “JavaScript”> Output
var p, q;
p= “JavaScript”; 10
q= p.length;
document.write(q);
</script>

Note: The difference between a function and a property is that the function has parentheses
( and ) with parameters after the function name, but the property does not.
