There are differences:- 1) Number is type where as parseFloat () is a global-function 2) Number (x) tries to cast x to Number where as parseFloat (x) reads, or * parses*, and returns the numbers in a string until it reaches a character. We use Number for typing, casting generally. Does that make sense?
