Number prototype Property in JavaScript

How to create a new number method that returns a number's half value in JavaScript?

By using Number.prototype property we can create a new number method that returns a number's calculated value.

<p>Click the below button create a new number method that returns a number's half value .</p>
<input type="button" value="ClickHere!" onclick="HalfNumber()" />
<p id="myId"></p>

<script>
    Number.prototype.myMethod = function () {
    return this.valueOf() / 2;
    }

    function HalfNumber() {
    var A = 36;
    document.getElementById("myId").innerHTML = A.myMethod();
    }
</script>

In the above code snippet we have given Id as "myId"to the second <p> element in the HTML code. There is a function HalfNumber() in the<script>block which is connected to the Onclick of the HTML button, we need to create a new number method, for that we are using Number.prototype and for returning the number's half value we are using return this.valueOf() / 2. The document.getElementById("myId")  returns the element that has Id "id=myID" in the HTML page. Onclick of the button "ClickHere!" fires the function HalfNumber() in the <script> block, at the same time the number.prototype creates a new number method and return this.valueOf() / 2 returns the number's half value as output.

OUTPUT

NOTE: If you want to create a new number method that returns a number's quarter value we can use return this.valueOf() / 4.

<script>
    Number.prototype.myMethod = function () {
    return this.valueOf() / 4;
    }

    function HalfNumber() {
    var A = 36;
    document.getElementById("myId").innerHTML = A.myMethod();
    }
</script>

Dividing & finding the 4th part

In the above code snippet we have divided the number into 4 parts.
