er, make that: Number is suitable for converting/casting a string representation of a number in decimal format (contains only digits between 0 and 9 and does not start with 0), octal format (begins with "0"), or hexadecimal format (begins with "0x") to a number, and for converting/casting a Boolean variable (not a boolean string) to a number.

The decimal equivalent of octal 11, in the same way that trace(Number("0x33")) returns 51. So Karthik's statement should just be revised to say that Number is suitable and correct if the aim is to convert/cast a string representation of a decimal number into that decimal number.
