JavaScript Number parseInt() Method

Last Updated : 6 Feb, 2026

The parseInt() method parses a value by converting it to a string and returns the first integer found. It also accepts an optional radix parameter that specifies the base of the numeral system.

  • Converts a string into an integer value.
  • Supports different number systems using the radix parameter.
  • Stops parsing when a non-numeric character is encountered.

Syntax

parseInt(Value, radix);

Parameters

  • Value: This parameter contains a string that is converted to an integer.
  • radix: This parameter represents the radix or base to be used and it is optional.

Return value

  • It returns a number and if the first character can't be converted to a number then the function returns NaN.
  • It returns a number parsed up to that point where it encounters a character that is not a number in the specified radix(base).
