    var num = "100";

Using parseInt() function

The parseInt method parses a value as a string and returns the first integer. If the first character cannot be converted, NaN is returned.

parseInt("5");
parseInt("10.00");
parseInt("10.73");
parseInt("34 45 66");
parseInt(" 100 ");
parseInt("35years");
parseInt("MOney 400");

There more ways to achieve it:

Using the unary plus operator:

var n = +str;

The Number constructor:

var n = Number(str);

The parseFloat function:

var n = parseFloat(str);
