I'm confused - how does ToNumber interact with trim?

Xotic750 commented 9 years ago

Sorry, probably just my bad language. But what we are talking about here is the internal trimming of whitespace when the Number constructor is used as a casting operator. Number(' 2 ') === 2 So just like with trim, different environments handle internal trimming differently and inconsistently.

After implementing the fix for es6-shim based on your tests, I totally get it now. Thanks for explaining further!
