I use parseInt and always specify the radix. The Number constructor used as a cast does something totally different. Neither will always do what you want. But if you're looking for an integer from a string, and you don't even control it enough to be sure it doesn't have a "0" at the beginning, parseInt with a radix of 10 is 99% what you want.
