valueOf()

[edit] Parameters

None.

[edit] Description

The valueOf method returns the following values:

• For the built-in Function object, valueOf returns the following string indicating that the source code is not available:

function Function() {
   [native code]
}

• For custom functions, toSource returns the JavaScript source that defines the object as a string. The method is equivalent to the toString method of the function.

This method is usually called internally by JavaScript and not explicitly in code.
