What does explicitly & implicitly mean in JavaScript?

I often see the terms expli开发者_运维问答citly & implicitly used in JavaScript and I'm still not sure I know what they mean i.e the following text from the MDC site describing the object model.

"Implicitly" means that the JS engine does it. "Explicitly" means that you must do it.

There are two types of coercion in JavaScript: Implicit Coercion: Type conversion is done implicitly by JavaScript. Explicit Coercion: Type conversion is done explicitly in code using the inbuilt functions like Number(), String(), Boolean(), etc.
