JS Practice — Built-in Objects

Object() — wrap a primitive value

📖 Usage Example

// Wrap a value in an Object wrapper
const obj = new Object(42)
typeof obj   // → 'object'
obj.valueOf()  // → 42

Use the Object constructor to explicitly wrap a primitive value in an object.

Object() wrapping primitives

When called as Object(value) with a primitive, it returns the boxed wrapper object (e.g. a Number object for numbers).

Challenge: Implement wrapValue(val) that uses Object(val) to wrap a primitive and returns the result.

typeof Object(42)     // → 'object'
typeof Object('hi')   // → 'object'

💡 Hints (2)

• `Object(42)` creates a `Number` object — its `valueOf()` returns the original primitive.
• Boxed wrappers are rarely used directly, but this demonstrates the constructor behaviour.
