In this chapter, we won't cover objects. Instead, we'll study primitives first. Later, after we learn about objects, we'll see how object conversion works in the chapter <info:object-toprimitive>.

## ToString
## String Conversion
String conversion happens when we need the string form of a value.

String conversion is mostly obvious. A `false` becomes `"false"`, `null` becomes `"null"`, etc.
## ToNumber
## Numberic Conversion
Numeric conversion happens in mathematical functions and expressions automatically.

This only happens when at least one of the arguments is a string. Otherwise, values are converted to numbers.

## Boolean Conversion
Boolean conversion is the simplest one.

The three most widely used type conversions are to string, to number, and to boolean.
**`ToString`** -- Occurs when we output something. Can be performed with `String(value)`. The conversion to string is usually obvious for primitive values.
