Always use parseInt with a radix  base  as the second parameter  or you will get unexpected results   var number   parseInt   this  find   number   text    10     A popular variation however is to use   as a unitary operator  This will always convert with base 10 and never throw an error  just return zero NaN which can be tested with the function isNaN   if it s an invalid number   var number       this  find   number   text

Use the javascript parseInt method  http   www w3schools com jsref jsref parseint asp   var number   parseInt   this  find   number   text    10   var current   600  if  current  gt  number           do something     Don t forget to specify the radix value of 10 which tells parseInt that it s in base 10
