, a string with a unit is returned - If a string that contains the number is supplied, it returns it as a number (e.g.: it returns

Caught a Bug?
- Fork this repository to your own GitHub account and then clone it to your local device
- Link the package to the global module directory:
npm link
- Within the module you want to test your local development instance of ms, just link it to the dependencies:
npm link ms
. Instead of the default one from npm, Node.js will now use your clone of ms!
As always, you can run the tests using: npm test
