How can I write a function in JavaScript that takes two parameters (a number and a "string" for e.g. 4 and "two") returns the sum of both multiplied. if num = 4 and string = "three" then the function should return 12 as an int. I guess what I am asking is how do I get to convert the string number "two" to int 2.

1There isn't an in-built function for turning number words into numbers. – evolutionxbox Aug 03 '21 at 14:24

Hi, So there is not native method to work with them, you have to manually run it with a switch statement, or put them in a array and take the index of the word and add 1 to it and then further proceed. – SARAN SURYA Aug 03 '21 at 14:25

If I understand you correctly if you npm install words-to-numbers you should be able to use that to convert your second parameter.

something like this is the only way I can think of:
function convertStringToNumber(string) {
if(string === 'one')
return 1;
if(string === 'two')
return 2;
if(string === 'three')
return 3;
/* keep going... */
}
