Can I use parseInt with session Storage?

Question

I'd like to use sessionStorage in my program, but I need the variable stored as an integer. Is it possible to use parseInt() for that? Like:

sessionStorage.setItem("j",0);
var j = parseInt(sessionStorage.getItem("j"));

Answer 1

You sure can, but your code as written needs to change localStorage to sessionStorage. Something like this:

sessionStorage.setItem("j",0);
var j = parseInt(sessionStorage.getItem("j"));
console.log(j)

Hope that helps!
