You could always try it out and see.
But if you just think about it, the function is parseInt. "Int" stands for integer, so it's expecting to convert a whole number. But what's the first thing in the string? It's a period (or "decimal point"). A period is not part of a whole number, so the function will not consider it valid, and will return "not a number" (or NaN).
