Script Preparation code:

var numbers = [1, 12, 123, 1234, 12345, 123456, 1234567, 12345678, 123456789];
var strNumbers = ["1", "12", "123", "1234", "12345", "123456", "1234567", "12345678", "123456789"];

Tests:

parseInt a number
numbers.forEach(n => parseInt(n, 10));
parseInt a string
strNumbers.forEach(n => parseInt(n, 10));
toString a number
numbers.forEach(n => n.toString());
toString a string
strNumbers.forEach(n => n.toString());
string literal a number
numbers.forEach(n => `${n}`);
string literal a string
strNumbers.forEach(n => `${n}`);
add empty string to number
numbers.forEach(n => n + "");
add empty string to string
strNumbers.forEach(n => n + "");
String constructor on a number
numbers.forEach(n => String(n));
String constructor on a string
strNumbers.forEach(n => String(n));
