Symbol.prototype.valueOf()

Syntax​

valueOf()

Return value​

The primitive value of the specified Symbol object.

Description​

The valueOf() method of Symbol returns the primitive value of a Symbol object as a Symbol data type.

JavaScript calls the valueOf() method to convert an object to a primitive value. You rarely need to invoke the valueOf() method yourself; JavaScript automatically invokes it when encountering an object where a primitive value is expected.
