How do I access parseFloat inside an angular factory function named parseFloat?

Question

How do I access parseFloat inside an angular factory function named parseFloat?

angular
    .module('myApp')
    .factory('mathService', [MathService]);

function MathService() {
    return {
        parseFloat: parseFloat
    };

    function parseFloat(num) {
        // this should be the global parseFloat 
        // and not the this math service parseFloat
        return parseFloat(num, 10); // how do I fix this line?
    }
}

Currently this causes infinite recursion. How do I access the global parseFloat inside this factory method called parseFloat?

Answer 1

window.parseFloat(num, 10) should work.
