How did the numbers turned into strings? Doest the .toFixed method converts them?

I thought .toFixed just worked on changing the number's decimals amount.

Yes, toFixed turns it into a string

Thanks for the answer. I know it was kinda silly question. Are there any other methods that act the same way?

If you have an input where a user types in some text, all the value of this input is a string.

Say, you ask a client "How old are you?" and the client should type in his age (for example, 33), it's going to be a string, not a number. To convert it to a number you need to use parseInt() or parseFloat()
