Let’s say we need to present a number on a web page so that it is always a floating point number with two decimal places. This is for cases where absolute precision is not needed but we want to always present a number output in a uniform way.<\/p>\n
Here is an example of how to format a long floating point number to two decimal places using JavaScripts which yields:<\/p>\n Here is what developer.mozilla.org says about The Number JavaScript object is a wrapper object allowing you to work with numerical values. A Number object is created using the Number() constructor.<\/p>\n The primary uses of the Number object are:<\/p>\n If the argument cannot be converted into a number, it returns NaN. w3schools says this about The Number() function converts the object argument to a number that represents the object’s value.<\/p>\n If the value cannot be converted to a legal number, NaN is returned.<\/p>\n Note: If the parameter is a Date object, the Number() function returns the number of milliseconds since midnight January 1, 1970 UTC.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n The For more information about Number, see: For more information about toFixed(), see: Let’s say we need to present a number on a web page so that it is always a floating point number with two decimal places.
