How to convert decimal numbers to hexadecimal numbers in Javascript?

Number type in javascript has toString() method which accepts base an argument.

Number.toString(base);

the base can be 16 for Hexa, 8 for octal, and 2 for binary.

Here is a code for parsing decimal to Hexa decimal example.

let hexa1 = Number(12).toString(16);
let hexa2 = Number(1918).toString(16);
console.log(hexa1); // c
console.log(hexa2); // 77e

toString works with numbers or integers only.

It does not work with the toString() method for a string of numbers.

let hexa1 = "12".toString(16);
let hexa2 = "1918".toString(16);
console.log(hexa1); //12
console.log(hexa2); //1918
