What is the difference between Number(...) and parseFloat(...)

Viewed 14959

What is the difference between parseInt(string) and Number(string) in JavaScript has been asked previously.

But the answers basically focused on the radix and the ability of parseInt to take a string like "123htg" and turn it into 123.

What I am asking here is if there is any big difference between the returns of Number(...) and parseFloat(...) when you pass it an actual number string with no radix at all.
