Let's say I have a hexadecimal, for example "0xdc", how do I convert this hexadecimal string to a hexadecimal Number type in JS?
Literally just losing the quotes. The Number() constructor and parseInt() just converted it to an integer between 0 and 255, I just want 0xdc.
EDIT:
To make my point more clear:
I want to go from "0xdc" (of type String), to 0xdc (of type Number)

How to convert a string to a number in JavaScript using the unary plus operator ( + ) The unary plus operator ( + ) will convert a string into a number. The operator will go before the operand. We can also use the unary plus operator ( + ) to convert a string into a floating point number.
To convert a hexadecimal string to a numberUse the ToInt32(String, Int32) method to convert the number expressed in base-16 to an integer. The first argument of the ToInt32(String, Int32) method is the string to convert. The second argument describes what base the number is expressed in; hexadecimal is base 16.
Given hexadecimal number is 7CF. To convert this into a decimal number system, multiply each digit with the powers of 16 starting from units place of the number.
We can use the '+' unary operator , Number(), parseInt() or parseFloat() function to convert string to number.
You can use the Number function, which parses a string into a number according to a certain format.
console.log(Number("0xdc"));JavaScript uses some notation to recognize numbers format like -
0x = Hexadecimal0b = Binary0o = Octal
