conversiton to number doesn't work

Question

Can anyone explain to me why this code doesn't works correctly:

var num = '10';

Number(num);
console.log(typeof(num));//string

parseInt(num);
console.log(typeof(num));//string

parseFloat(num, 10);
console.log(typeof(num));//string

console.log('-------------');

var num = '10';
var string = 'aklñjg';


num = Number(num);
string = Number(string);
console.log(typeof(num));//number
console.log(typeof(string));//number


num = parseInt(num);
string = parseInt(string);
console.log(typeof(num));//number
console.log(typeof(string));//number

console.log('++++++++++++++++');


    var num = '10';
var string = 'aklñjg';


num = Number(num);
string = Number(string);
console.log(typeof(num));//number
console.log(typeof(string));//number


num = parseInt(num, 10);
string = parseInt(string, 10);
console.log(typeof(num));//number
console.log(typeof(string));//number

Or all is a string or all is a Number.

I appreciate any help.

var num = '10'; // num is a string

Number(num); // you've done nothing with the RESULT, num is unchanged
console.log(typeof(num));//string - because you haven't changed num

parseInt(num); // you've done nothing with the RESULT, num is unchanged
console.log(typeof(num));//string - because you haven't changed num

parseFloat(num, 10); // you've done nothing with the RESULT, num is unchanged
console.log(typeof(num));//string - because you haven't changed num

var num = '10'; // num is a string
var string = 'aklñjg';  string is a string


num = Number(num); // num is a Number
string = Number(string);// string is a Number (NaN (not a number) is a number!)
console.log(typeof(num));//number 
console.log(typeof(string));//number


num = parseInt(num); // num is a number
string = parseInt(string); // string is a number (NaN still a number)
console.log(typeof(num));//number
console.log(typeof(string));//number
