How to convert a number to string in coffeescript?

Question

Given a number

n = 42

What is the best way to convert it into a string?

s = String(n)

or

s = ''+n

or any better suggestion?

Answer 1

String interpolation might be the most natural approach in CoffeeScript:

s = "#{n}" # Just `'' + n` in disguise.

That might leave people wondering what you're doing though.

Answer 2

I think the best way would be:

(10).toString()
// or
n = 11;
n.toString()

Edited to fix syntax error. 10.toString() works in the CoffeeScript simulator but it's better to be safe.
